All that's Left is the Rusted Tin

“What I really like about largescale work is that it’s a way of reminding non-Aboriginal people that we’re still here and that our culture is still as important today as it has always been.”

Scott Rathman is the contemporary Aboriginal artist behind the name Rusted Tin, and a cultural learning consultant who integrates his heritage with modern-day stories through colourful, recognisable artworks on everything from largescale outdoor murals to canvases to coffee mugs.

His larger work can be seen on corrugated iron fences, sheds, roller doors, brick walls and most recently a scooter pump track in Whyalla. Scott sees his work as a modern version of the rock art and cave paintings that distinguished Aboriginal art of the past.

He likes telling new stories, but every new piece of art he creates is in some way inspired by this grandmother, a member of the Stolen Generation.
