Dancing Wombat – Gumleaves Aboriginal Cotton Tea-towel
Womindjeka is what we say to friends and strangers when we welcome them onto our country. We offer them a gumleaf as their passport and they must observe Bunjils law. Bunjil, the wedge tailed eagle is the creator spirit for the Kulin people. The gumleaves represent the five language groups that make up the Kulin Nation: Boonwurrung, Woiwurrung, Taungwurrung, Wadawurrung, and Djadjawurrung. They represent our individuality and the protection of our families. All the symbols are unique to Aboriginal people of south-eastern Australia and they demonstrate connection to our country.
Material: Cotton
Made in Australia
Cotton Tea-towel packaged with information about the artist and artwork.
About the Artist
Mick Harding belongs to the Yowung-Illam-Baluk clan of the Taungurung people – a tribe of the Kulin nation. Mick was born in Melbourne. Mick draws inspiration from the compelling legends of his people and weaves the images of those legends into each of his original artworks, which reflect the unique symbols and artefacts of South East Australia. Each of the artworks Mick creates, is linked to a legend and challenges the viewer to understand their place in the story.
