His family and friends provided constant inspiration, and his work is marked by a profound sense of intimacy that challenges the negative portrayals of ‘otherness’ often found in historical ethnographic portraiture. In 1986, Riley participated in the inaugural exhibition of Indigenous photography at the Aboriginal Artists Gallery in Sydney, showcasing five portraits of Black women. Among these was "Maria" (1985), a piece that draws on the historical representation of Truganninni, who is remembered as the last of the Tasmanian Aboriginal people. That same year, Riley, along with nine other Sydney-based artists, co-founded the Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative. Simultaneously, he was working at Film Australia, where he wrote and directed his debut film, "Boomalli: Five Artists" (1988), followed by the critically acclaimed documentary "Dreamings" (1988), created for the exhibition of Aboriginal art at the Asia Society Galleries in New York. Through these endeavors, Riley established himself as a powerful voice in the representation of Indigenous culture. Riley continued to celebrate Aboriginal women in "Portraits by a Window" (1990) and the series" A Common Place – Portraits of Moree Murris"(1991). From 1993, Riley’s work focused on self-abuse as a symptom of colonisation, represented in "Sacrifice" (1993), a series of images of icons, such as Aboriginal hands displaying stigmata. He was commissioned by the Museum of Sydney in 1996 to create Eora, a permanent video display dedicated to the people of Sydney. In this work, he presented a subversive juxtaposition of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal culture. Riley surveyed the environmental destruction of his country as a metaphor for the encroachment on Aboriginal culture in his film "Empire" (1997), and the photographic series "Fly Blown" (1998). These works juxtaposed images of Christianity and roadkill with the parched Australian environment, and were shown as a satellite exhibition of the 1999 Venice Biennale. Riley returned to community portraits in 1999, with the series Yarns from Talbragar, depicting members of his father’s Wiradjuri community in Dubbo and echoing his 1991 Moree series, which centred on his mother’s Gamilaroi family. Riley’s first digital series, Cloud, 2000, was included in Photograhica Australis at ARCO in Spain, the Fourth Asia-Pacific Triennial of Contemporary Art at the Queensland Art Gallery, Brisbane, and the 2003 Festival of Sydney. Isolated against an emblematic blue Australian sky, a cow, a bible and a boomerang each symbolise pastoralism, religion and Aboriginality – questioning who belongs within Australia. Jonathan Jones in 'Tradition today: Indigenous art in Australia’, Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney, 2014 This piece is a fine example of an Australian Aboriginal artwork.
