Unified Moments
‘Unified Moments’ reminds me of the many different, shades, textures and types of beach treasures like shells and sea glass that flow or glisten in the shoreline or amongst the Sandy Nepean. For many people that grew up on Boon Wurrung/ Bunurong country, collecting sea glass was a popular hobby. I always tried to find that perfect, smooth, green piece, often competing with my sister or mum. Sitting in the rockpools or scanning the shoreline with my hands, sifting through eye catching shells to find the perfect piece of sea glass is a treasured memory of mine with my mum and sister.
The Boon Wurrung / Bunurong women would often hunt and gather shellfish, sit and share stories together. Thriving and only taking what was needed at the time. Some of these historical midden sites are still here today.
A variety of my traditional Yorta Yorta and Juru symbols alongside common Aboriginal symbols of gathering places, woman and varied sized dot work transform ‘Unified Moments’ and the ongoing connection us women have with Mother Nature.
