Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water: Bespoke Artwork

This artwork, entitled ‘Connections Across Country’, was created by David Williams to tell the story of the Department of Regional Development, Manufacturing and Water and its significance to a thriving and sustainable Queensland.

It’s a team that cares about each other and the people it serves and values the essential connections it makes along the way. At the centre of the artwork are the First Nations voices, knowledge, and perspectives that are vital to the Department’s work. Circular elements representing regional development, manufacturing, and water are closely connected. The Department’s collective journey to build and maintain authentic and meaningful relationships radiates from
the centre.

First Nations manufacturing and innovation is represented by boomerangs throughout and Queensland’s diverse landscapes can be seen. The Department is dedicated to creating better opportunities for Queensland’s regions to improve the lives of all who live there – for today and for generations to come.

By strengthening its relationships with First Nations peoples all over Queensland, the Department’s connections across Country can help build a more prosperous and equitable state to be shared and enjoyed by all.
