Artwork Description

This bright still life shows off the bright colours and unique shape of the Waratah flower set in a gorgeous brown vase on a brightly patterned table. The pattern depicts the artists contemporary version of the Wagyl Path, a nod to her Noongar Culture. The upturned phone has a pattern representing the Aboriginal flag with the symbol of the protesting fist.

This is part of the STILL WILD Series that shows the story of an Aboriginal Woman living in the modern world, traditional Knowledge and Culture shared through subtle features. The artists love of bold colours and illustration style shares her favourite wildflowers from around Australia.
