Collecting emu eggs on country
Collecting emu eggs on country
This artwork depicts people out collecting emu eggs on country, a practice that carries deep cultural significance and connection. The act of gathering is not only about sustenance but also about learning from the land, following the rhythms of nature, and passing knowledge from one generation to the next. Each figure moves with care, respect, and understanding, guided by the wisdom of the old people and the teachings of country.
The colours are inspired by the rich and vibrant tones found on country — the earthy ochres, soft greens, warm reds, and golden sunlight that reflect the life, energy, and diversity of the land. These colours bring the landscape to life and convey the harmony between people and the environment, capturing the beauty of the land and the stories it holds.
This piece is a celebration of culture, connection, and community. It reminds us that every journey on country carries meaning, that the land provides and teaches, and that through these shared practices we honour those who came before us. It is a visual story of belonging, respect, and the deep bonds formed when people move with care, understanding, and love across country.
