Teho Ropeyarn: The man from Seven Rivers
Mark-making in all its interpretations is at the core of everything Teho Ropeyarn enacts through his art practice. He might even agree that mark-making is his purpose.
We can ask why did the first being make the first purposeful mark ever, anywhere? For remembrance, which is sharing knowledge. For First Nations peoples, for 65,000+ years, remembrance is manifest in the complex systems we pass on for Knowledge, Kinship (Moiety) and Lore.
