Another sun rising with the capricious laughs of the kookaburra. The critters of the land bathing amongst the warmth of the red dirt. The markings among the animals on the band are inspired indigenous symbols holding the meaning of this project and how many artists and people of all different back grounds it has brought together during this collection.
One aspect I wanted to make a priority with my Australiana Collection
is paying respects to the traditional custodians of the land and recognising that this always was, and always will be aboriginal land.
To do this I created a couple of hats in collaboration with an amazing indigenous artist, Helena. As well as this, 10% of the profits of these hats will be going to Aboriginal Women’s and Children Crisis Service. Working in this industry I have a huge passion and love for these services and want to be able to give back in any way I can.
Always was. Always will be. Paying respects and acknowledging the traditional custodians of this land I now call home. A deep appreciation for their culture and a mutual love of country. This hat is in collaboration with lovely indigenous artist, Helena. Fabric is: Sand hills design in Ochre, used in silk for the internal liner of the crown and in linen for the brim binding.
