Freddie Timms
Freddy Timms is an Australian indigenous artist from the Kimberley region.
==Life and art==
Timms commenced painting on canvas in the 1990s at Turkey Creek / Warmun in the Kimberley region of Western Australia.
In 2002, a controversy that came to involve Timms developed when writer Keith Windschuttle argued that claims made by some historians about the killing of indigenous people by white landholders were false. Windschuttle's arguments were part of a broader debate about Australian indigenous historiography and conflict between indigenous and non-indigenous Australians. One argument put in this debate was that some authors, including Windschuttle, were privileging written history (which was at that time invariably recorded by white Australians) over oral histories of indigenous people. These oral histories included accounts of a massacre of indigenous people (including members of Timms' family) at a place called Mistake Creek. Angered by Windschuttle and others' claims, Timms and several other artists including Paddy Bedford created paintings documenting the events recorded in their oral histories. These paintings were exhibited in ''Blood on the spinifex'' at the Ian Potter Museum of Art in 2003.〔D. Jopson, 'Landscapes in blood', ''Sydney Morning Herald'', 14 December 2002.〕
Timms collaborated with former gallerist Tony Oliver and others to create Jirrawun Arts, a company established to assist the development and sale of works by indigenous artists from parts of the Kimberley.〔Jeremy Eccles, 'New frontiers for Indigenous art: Jirrawun Arts, East Kimberley', ''Art Monthly Australia'', no. 178, April 2005〕 By 2007 the company had become one of a very small number of profitable, privately financed, indigenous-owned and controlled businesses operating in the field of indigenous art.〔Senate Standing Committee on the Environment, Communications, Information Technology and the Arts (2007), ''Indigenous Art: Securing the Future – Australia's Indigenous visual arts and craft sector'', Canberra: The Senate〕〔Nicolas Rothwell, "A dream of a studio", ''The Weekend Australian – Review'', 21–22 July 2007, p. 9〕
