printmaker, the son of a stockman who became a clergyman and lived in various towns with his family, now lives in North Queensland. He does not use traditional imagery in his art: “It wouldn’t be respectful to other people if I used images that don’t mean anything to me personally”. In 1997 he was studying for a Diploma in Applied Science in Broadcasting and Journalism at Batchelor College and working with an Aboriginal radio group in Cairns. Gorry has exhibited his linocuts in Cairns, Brisbane, Sydney and Canberra and in the 1991 Outback Images exhibition that toured the USA. Rather naive in style, they include an Aboriginal stockman whipping a bull, In the dust , and a mob of cattle, New Tracks (both 1995), included in the national travelling exhibition Shadows in the dust .
