Warada | Beautiful, 2025
raffia
76 x 75 x 5 cm

Warada is the Darug language word for Beautiful or seen from afar.

The Waratah flower derives its name from this word and is appropriate for such striking, beauty.

When you stand back from a distance you will see a wall hanging which is bright and contemporary in style and what appears to be a central flower.

Upon close inspection you will notice many fine threads of raffia which are generally off cuts which I have worked into the piece. Less waste & a more sustainable way of weaving. The leaf is fashioned using a macrame method. Eco friendly glitter made from recycled materials is used as a modern accent. The varied sections of colour reference plants and the different shades. The purple reminds me of Dianella with its purple blue vibrancy, yellow for the Midyini - Yam Daisies and the cream green tones representing the flannel flowers growing on country. Mariong - emu (feathers) connecting it to the emu constellation in the sky and significant in Darug artworks as a way of passing on cultural knowledge and dream time stories

Warada, Beauty in the small processes and weaved of good intentions.
