About the Artist
Creating and curating the world’s largest Indigenous digital immersive experience, Wayne worked with internationally renowned Grande Experiences to share the art and culture of his people at ‘Connection’ the 3D immersion that attracted record audiences at the National Museum in Canberra and then the Lume in Melbourne.

Working with several Indigenous business’s from across Australia, Wayne created a series of projected immersions for London Fashion week. The digital projections featured at the Australian Embassy followed by shows in The Hauge and Vienna.

The newly built ‘Waterloo’ train station in Sydney features a 40m x 40m artwork of Waynes artwork. Working with TransUrban and consulting with the local Aboriginal community, over 200 panels were etched with the final artwork and is being featured in numerous Australian and International publications.

Wayne is the Creative Director of ‘Bardu Gili’ which is currently projecting onto the sails of the Sydney Opera House every night during 2024 and was the creative director of ‘Gumbaya Dreaming’, an interactive light immersion at Gumbuya World in Victoria.

Owner of Australia first Indigenous wine label Mt Yengo, Wayne’s artwork also adorns the labels of the 8 different varietals which are currently stocked by Coles and Carnival Cruise liners.

About the Artwork
In his artistic universe, Quilliam defers to knowledge and teaching of the Ancestors as he embraces modernity by guiding society towards other dimensions of consciousness by way of the decelerated rhythm of his strict aesthetic, making use of striking images, movement and dynamic interplay of light and darkness.

“The perception of creation, the belief in a divine entity is an eon old debate,” Wayne shares. “Reality, we are born of the earth, we walk the earth, and we return to the earth. The creation of ‘Country’, by the spirits is an exploration of mysticism, of fact, of myth, a contemporary view of ancient beliefs cultivated by our ancestors, will our lands survive with the world at war, or is Destruction Imminent?” This artwork is a symbolic combination of true stories and mythical representations that have merged artistic conjecture with a universal need to understand the concept of existence.

This artwork is a foundation to challenge the perception of truth by constructing realities from the artist subconscious; do they represent a believable truth that questions the practicalities of a physical existence compared to one of enlightenment.
