Niah Juella Mcleod is a descendant of the Monero, Wandandian and Yuin peoples of south-east Australia. She is the daughter of Kathrin Sharp, a painter, and Bobby Mcleod, an Aboriginal activist, poet, healer, musician and Yuin elder. 

Niah's works are inspired by different moments in her life, and only a few have meaning related to traditional Dreamtime stories.

All the canvases feature either fine lines or small dots forming a hypnotic pattern, created using a pipette, a brush or the spine of an echidna, a small animal typical of Australian wildlife. Here, the background and lines are distinguished almost solely by their brilliance and relief. 

The fine lines that cross the canvas on either side symbolise a fishing session, ‘waraawara’ meaning a fishing line, ‘bana’ in the rain, ‘stringy bark’ sheltered under the eucalyptus trees.
