The concept of this artwork is to reflect on the knowledge, wisdom and guidance I have received through my Elders and the Elders within my community. I am forever grateful for the connections I have with strong Aboriginal people who wholeheartedly embody the NAIDOC theme: Strength, Vision and Legacy.
I reflected on times when I have sat with Elders, listening and learning from the stories they share. I think about the cultural knowledge that has been generously passed down to me and the way I use this knowledge of Country to guide me every day. I am thankful to be able to pass this knowledge on to my son, who is growing up to be strong and proud in his culture.
The bottom layer of arches are our pillars of strength, our ancestors who have paved the way before us and who have left a lasting legacy. On top of that are silhouettes of people which have been used to represent the physical and spiritual presence of people – past, present and future.
The meeting places have been used to symbolise our connection to people and Country, through ceremonies taking place where our culture thrives, being practised loud and proud.
I have included bush foods and bush medicines (flowering gum, wattle, lilli pilli, lemon myrtle, pippi shells) which are sustained through the flowing river and waterholes. We live in harmony with Country, we care for Country and Country provides for us in return.

Printed In-House & Supporting Employment and Training
Over the last decade we have expanded and refined our in-house printing facilities and production capabilities. This allows us to create local jobs and training, and enables us to offer quick turnaround times for branded products.
Our printing facilities go beyond being mere production centres; they are testimonies to the success of our Indigenous Employment and Training initiative. Today, skilled First Nations printers, who have received comprehensive training, are at the helm of our printing operations. Choosing Yarn supports these talented printers, allowing their skills and work to shine and contributing to a growing skillset.
