Swallow the Air Publisher / CSIRO Publishing Jazz Money’s David Unaipon Award-winning

Jazz Money’s David Unaipon Award-winning collection

where a menagerie of wild creatures roam

from classical and rural styles to more grounded spaces

these late works have a deceptively naïve quality

the youngest artist ever to win it

Swallow the Air Publisher / CSIRO Publishing Jazz Money’s David Unaipon Award-winningWhen Mays mother dies suddenly, she and her brother Billy are taken in by Aunty. However, their loss leaves them both searching for their place in a world that doesnt seem to want them. While Billy takes his own destructive path, May sets out to find her father and her Aboriginal identity. Her journey leads her from the Australian east coast to the far north, but it is the people she meets, not the destinations, that teach her what it is to belong.
