Rebirth: We Have Survived
Sydney born Aboriginal artist and Wiradjuri woman, Peta-Joy Williams, draws inspiration for her artwork from both the inland and coast, using her extensive education in Aboriginal art to help her tell stories of these landscapes. Her piece ‘Rebirth: We have survived’, depicts the rebirth of land after the affects of bushfire; a sobering yet beautiful showcase of these changes. Ombre hues of yellow, pink, and orange show the colours of the fires, whilst through an assortment of different shapes and icons in bright colours depict the native flora reclaiming the land. A bright and lively design, this blouse will be sure to ignite a conversation through the joyful reminder that despite great destruction, we have survived.
Contours of Country
Curated by Aboriginal artist and Kamilaori woman Leah Brideson, ‘Contours of Country’ depicts the wonderful pathways, shapes and lines that form the dry and arid land of Kamilaori country. This design uses a birds-eye view to depict the pathways through the landscape of her country, with striking blue and green dot work, enclosed in bright red marks, bring a connected fluidity to the work. Finished with white lines of dots to represent the cracks in the land, Leah’s signature style of ‘cracked earth’ shows the landscape and all the beautiful colours and shapes it can take on.
Ancestors
‘Ancestors’ designed by our in-house Aboriginal artists, is an earthy toned and block styled print work of stepping-stones. These stones which are depicted as different pastel yellow shapes, represent the different generations of ancestors of the Aboriginal people. Tied together with flowing dot work which connects each generation’s timelines, journeys, and pathways from ancient ancestors to our present-day elders. It’s a beautiful reminder that even though our Ancestors have passed on, their spirits still inhabit the tribal country and are a part of Aboriginal people in this modern day, they must not be forgotten as they helped carved the path.
