Strangler Fig Tree - Fruiting

Bernard Lee Singleton was born in Cairns and raised in Coen, a small aboriginal community in Cape York Peninsula of Far Northern Queensland. Bernard’s mother is a Djabuguy woman born in Mona Mona mission and his father is of Umpila (East Coast Cape York) and of Yirrkandji man from Yarrabah mission.

Bernard has been painting and drawing since childhood and his style evolved from his exposure to sacred sites and artefacts from a young age. He recalls always being with his father, an Archaeological Relics Ranger, and mother, a very knowledgeable rainforest woman, to many Aboriginal sites and story places. It is from these experiences that inspire his choice of vibrant earth colours in his artwork. Each piece of art reflects a story or legend, an interpretation of daily life or hunting, gathering or a traditional practice most of which are generations old.

Artwork is just a small part of Bernard’s cultural practices; he also specialises in recreating traditional artefacts and tools and Warrma(traditional dancing). Growing up in Coen meant he had to learn tribal lore, hunting and  fishing skills and corroboree. Bernard was taught by many elders in Coen including his Grandparents and Mother in Oak Forest, Kuranda.

These memories and experiences gained from his Father, Mother, Grandparents and close family members are now portrayed through his artwork

A life long lover of nature and constantly intrigued by the natural world and the invisible world of sounds that surround us. This has taken me on a journey of trying to combine my love of exploring and documenting nature with my passion for recording and understanding sound. The idea has since manifested into a number of interesting projects and is in a constant state of evolution. I like the idea of using art as a way to understand the world of science, using imagination to explore scientific ideas beyond the limits of traditional scientific methodology.

I have built up the gear to record and capture sounds for use in films, interviews and music projects or you can check out the library of sounds. I have worked on a number of film projects in a number of different roles and enjoy working behind the camera, which has helped how I work with sound. I like being able to provide a different point of view and unique service for people who like the idea of thinking outside the box, because I live outside the box. 

The most profound sound you will ever hear, is the sound when your heart breaks open

If you like these recordings and would like more information please feel free to contact me on Tai.inoue@my.jcu.edu.au

Thanks Tai
