"WE ARE ARTISTS. WE ARE KALKADOON WOMEN. WE ARE MOTHERS, SISTERS, PARTNERS, BUSINESS OWNERS. WE ARE TELLING THE STORIES OF OUR KALKATUNGU HOMELANDS AND SHARING THE COLOURS, TEXTURES AND HISTORY OF OUR HOME. WE ARE CUNGELELLA ART".

“Before I tell you how this beautiful experience came about, I should preface this by saying that I'm a big believer in manifestation. Manifestation & gratitude has been a part of my life since I was a child (without actually knowing what it was, or that I was doing it, until I became an adult).

For months, or maybe even a couple of years, I have dreamed of doing a creative project like this one, as I've always felt such a connection to the Indigenous community of Australia, which could be for a variety of reasons. My Father's best friend is an Aborigine, and so are my brother in laws. My Father has travelled out to remote parts of Australia to visit Indigenous communities with his friend, and described the experience as amazing, unforgettable and incredibly inspiring, so it is something I have always been very interested in, and intrigued by. 

Back in February, the lovely ladies from Cungelella Art reached out to see if we would be interested in doing a photoshoot with them, as they were Coven fans. I couldn't reply quick enough... Yes, yes, yes!”
