A little bit more |
Witjira | inspired by the incredible landscape of Witjira National Park which spans South Australian and Northern Territory border in Arrernte Country, Central Australia. Sometimes stark, sometimes lush and verdant, Witjira is a place of ancient Aboriginal traditions and ceremony. It is also a healing place and home of the famous Dalhousie Hot Springs.

Saltwater | inspired by the chameleon variations of colour and form of the waves, rips and tides along the Australian coastline. Rich in form, colour and ecological diversity, each estuary, beach and wild coastline has its own character and presence. Many of these places are regarded as sacred by traditional Aboriginal people, with many stories attached to them.

Floriade | inspired by the rich and colourful diversity of native wildflowers and barks from across THE Australian mainland and the Torres Strait Islands. Often used by Indigenous women as body art, many of these flowers are also used for traditional medicines for dyes for weaving.

Seed Dreaming | inspired by the incredible story of natural life cycles in the Australian bush. Shaped by the process of evolution in their unique environment, the seeds of Australian native plants often lie in the ground for years before intense heat of bushfire cracks the hard shell and allows the plant to grow.
