Kursty Colemane (she/her), Baramadagal of the Darug nation
Baramadagal River Dreaming at Sunset, 2025
acrylic paint, raffia, emu feathers, quandong seeds, synthetic polymer paint
80 x 80 x 3.5 cm

Barramatta, the place where the eels lie down, the intertwined journey of the eels and the Baramadagal, an unbroken circle with no beginning or end.

The eels from the mountains to the sea, as are the people! Our family gather along the banks of the river in groups yarning and being sustained by the eel, yet also protecting them to live on.

The journey from fresh water to the sea and the return to the place where the eels lie down, the balanced relationship of sustainability and community to time immemorial and the warmth of the continued existence woven together.

I have painted warm hues of summer. The colours of the heart, a circular piece with woven intentions binding the people and the eels together. The emu feathers for emu sky stories and the binding of the grasses at the rivers edges. The painting of the eels and the fish in their continued existence, we rely on them, they rely on us and the circle continues...

The community gathers in groups at sunset to yarn and to be sustained both physically and spiritually.
