Event Summary
Abundance Blessing Ceremony at Mount Rawdon
26 August 2024
Pallion was honoured to be a part of the First Nations Blessing Ceremony at Evolution Mining’s Mount Rawdon Gold Mine to celebrate the provenance of the gold in Lindy Lee’s Abundance.
This occasion, led by the Port Curtis Coral Coast traditional peoples together with artist Lindy Lee, marked a significant moment in the story of Abundance.
As Andrew Cochineas, CEO of Pallion said ‘the occasion presented the opportunity for everyone involved in the creation of Abundance– particularly Lindy, whose birthplace is not far from Mount Rawdon – to engage with the local Indigenous leaders and receive their blessing for the gold that was sourced from Country and forged into a piece of art for all Australians to enjoy.’
The next stop for Abundance will be Canberra where it will be on a long-term loan to the National Gallery of Australia from Lindy Lee & the Pallion Art Collection.
