Green Skin (Gangurru Camouflage), Tony Albert, 2013, acrylic on paper, 30.6 x 21.8 cm. AWM ART94999. In 2012 Tony Albert became the Australian War Memorial's first official war artist to deploy with the Army's Regional Force Surveillance Unit, North West Mobile Force (NORFORCE). NORFORCE is a surveillance unit, and camouflage is an important part of its operations, assisting soldiers to move invisibly within the landscape. In response to his experience in the Northern Territory Albert created a series of 20 small works he titled 'Gangurru camouflague' which address the invisibility of Indigenous Military Service within our national museums and military histories.
