SALE - Necktie Set, Coastal Dreaming

Emma Hollingsworth is a First Nations artist, a proud Kaanju, Kuku Ya’u and Girramay woman, currently residing on Turrbal Country (Queensland).

The artwork represents the communities along the coast and the mob within those communities. All of the communities are connected by lines, or "tracks," which are either walking tracks or tracks made by boats, as people travel from island to mainland.

Coastal clans thrive as the tropical climate provides an abundance of fresh water, and the sea provides plenty of fish or ‘minya,’ making for a healthy diet. Indigenous people have always fished sustainably and taken care of the land properly. If we come together, we can learn how to take care of the waterways, sea, and land using traditional methods and save our environment.
