The strongest component of Uncle Kevin’s work is his Wiradjuri mark-making. These markings and symbols relate specifically to Wiradjuri cultural labor, and where Kevin was born and raised as a child at Narrandera and Warangesda Mission at Darlington Point. There, his mother and father lived in a tent on the Murrumbidgee River. In this area is the largest Bora Ground that has ever been recorded. A Bora Ground is traditional meeting place. At Darlington Point the Bora Ground consisted of two large circles; one 50 meters in diameter the other 30 meters, and they were connected by a 500 meter pathway. Along this pathway there were ground carvings and 100 ornately carved trees with symbols, markings, and the animals that are Totems of the Wiradjuri.
