“We got Australia’s best sculptor Louis Laumen on board to make the statue”
Nicky Winmar, Louis Laumen, 2018
“The statue of Neil Elvis "Nicky" Winmar was sculpted by Louis Laumen and has been erected on Nyoongar ground, acknowledging the South Fremantle product's roots in Western Australia.
“The fact that it stands for more than football and more than just an individual, it stands for respect and stands for saying racism is not OK is incredibly significant and I think it's still relevant today, as it was then,” AFL general manager inclusion and social policy Tanya Hosch said. “I'm so pleased for Nicky, for the Nyoongar people and for Western Australia to have that recognition on Nyoongar country.”
