Witness 

Oil and Acrylic on Canvas 

41 x 112cm 

 

This work is a portrait of Dusty Miller- an SAS combat medic who served with Australia’s Special Forces in Afghanistan. Dusty has bravely spoken up about witnessing war crimes by Australian Soldiers- allegations substantiated by the Brereton report findings and now under investigation by the Office of the Special Investigator.  Dusty and the other veterans who spoke at great personal cost about what they witnessed have done the nation a great service; showing courage and loyalty in upholding the qualities which Australians could and should aspire to.
