Better World Arts Paper Star - DYM975

This decorative art piece showcases the work of Indigenous Australian artists, blending traditional cultural motifs with a modern, practical application. Each star is intricately designed, representing stories from Indigenous Dreaming and Australian landscapes.

This intricate painting depicts the dry season in Damien’s homeland of Mount Liebig, illustrating the landscape and cultural traditions shared by his great-grandparents. Women gather bush potatoes while preparing for a ceremony, as a man (wati) manages controlled bushfires to promote future growth. Symbols include women’s body paintings, a dry creek bed, cracked claypans, and rockholes (tjukula) near sandhills (tali), all reflecting the region’s natural features and cultural significance.
