How soon they forget

The artist Roy Kennedy grew up at Darlington Point in Australia's Riverina region. His art records the history and experience of many Indigenous men from urban and regional NSW, who lived isolated from other Australians on missions and settlements along major waterways. This etching depicts Police Paddock Mission and Warangesda Mission, where Kennedy and his family lived. It portrays the familiar local sights of the police station, church and mulberry tree.
