    Artwork Story

    This artwork is inspired by my childhood memories of gathering pipis. Pipis are small, edible saltwater clams.

    My family and I would camp at the Myall Lakes, part of the country of the Worimi Aboriginal people, and gather pipis on the shoreline of the beach - similar to my ancestors. The sand dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands hold midden sites (accumulations of shells), which were created when my people would collect, cook and eat pipis. These sand dunes are recognized as the largest moving coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. As the sands shift they cover and uncover these midden sites.

    In this piece the overlapping semi-circles are symbolic of the pipis we would gather. The colours are representative of both my identity as an LGBTQIA+ person, and directly of the pipis and their environment. The light pinks and purples are reminiscent of the inside shell of the pipis, while the yellows and greens represent the beach areas the pipis would grow and the surrounding wildlife areas.

    THE BEST SUIT I’VE EVER WORN

    From the feel, the artistry, the concept of being able to wear cultural art, Gali is so differentiated in the marketplace it’s amazing. I love my pair!

    I got so many compliments

    I absolutely love the design of this suit and I got a bunch of compliments on it every time I've worn it so far. It fit wells and material feels both comfortable and high-quality/durable. I had an issue with the US Postal Service and the team was super responsive in getting everything sorted out quickly. Couldn't ask for a better process.
