Chisholm said that his work, Float II, was an exploration of the possibilities of the mind and the personal experience of the landscape.
"The shape representing a floating dream-like island full of patterns, flora and fauna, and stories against a starlit background," he said.
"An explosion of confusion and possibilities are created.
"Drawing is a meditative experience and the influences from our place in nature comes flowing freely from my hands."
Chisholm said that his artwork had a wide range of influences, from technology and contemporary art practices, to understanding and making a connection with family heritage.
An ongoing journey was progressing all the time, he said.
TML chairwoman Dr Judith Watson launched the plan at the Bahá'i Centre of Learning for Tasmania in Hobart last Monday.
She said the plan's program was about organisations such as hers documenting how they would contribute to reconciliation in Australia.
"It's about turning good intentions into real actions," she said.
"This plan is a significant step forward in the reconciliation process and is an important progression of TML's commitment to improving health outcomes for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people in Tasmania."
The works will be displayed at Medicare Local offices at Hobart, Launceston and Ulverstone.
