Acrylic on canvas - Framed (850mm x 700mm)

This Place is a very special place for people to come and swim, share conversations, eat and enjoy the beautiful river with family and friends.

A group of local people meet here during the warm months, and we share our weaving practices with each other and the public.

This piece tells of how the Lomandra grass is woven in a circle shape to symbolise how we all sat when weaving.

For my Yinarrs the practice of weaving is about more than utility. It threads back together the links to country that were broken two centuries ago.

Buyu is healing, it provides a safe place for people to reflect about things in a cultural place.

Buyu has always been here it has just been sleeping, the Gawarrawarr have been waiting for us, it brings us back to country, when we Buyu and yarn we Buyu stories into baskets.
