She said she would never paint such a work in this day and age and has now removed the image from her website.
"In retrospect it was naive of me to paint in this style as I lacked a full understanding of the symbolism and meaning in Indigenous art forms. The ABC reached out to After Life's production company, Derek Productions, for comment, but was referred to Netflix. So far there has been no response.The Indigenous Art Code said it would now write to Netflix to encourage them to create formal protocols for handling Indigenous content.
"People will say, 'I don't understand cultural misappropriation', or 'I didn't understand Indigenous intellectual property, when I created it my intention wasn't to steal something', but it's just not good enough.A federal parliamentary inquiry into the issue concluded fake Aboriginal art"cannot be allowed to continue unchecked" and handed down eight recommendations to protect Indigenous works.
How precious can you get. Imagine if no one were able to paint in the style of the old masters or the surrealists. Imitation is the sincerest form of flattery.

I saw a movie use a fake gun the other day. Turns out the actor who was shot is still alive and working to this day.
Is there anything we don’t complain about? We are all so sensitive and PC. When is the world going to stop criticising everything- it must be good to be so perfect all these drama queens I am do over it
No one gives a ****.
It looks like aboriginal art but only remotely like the one it is claimed to be like. There is no way you could legally claim it is a copy, objectively the difference would be numerically huge. Poor artist, she is totally innocent.
Really scraping the barrel now theirabc
Isnt using fake art or costumes in a tv show called a prop?
They probably use fake money too.
I feel like humans need to share our cultures. If someone wants to draw a Celtic knot or Anubis or a Wandjina that should belong to all of us
Reporting on twitter outrage is the new BuzzFeed list clickbait
