Artwork Story

Freshwater Saltwater is inspired by the journey my family and I made between Collarenebri, in Kamilaroi Country, and Redfern in Gadigal Country. My ancestral ties to Kamilaroi Country, where my family lived before moving to Redfern in the 1960s, are central to this work, reflecting the movement between Country and City that has shaped our lives.

In this piece, the pathway lines trace the routes we travelled, connecting places of significance along the way. The colours capture the changing landscapes between freshwater and saltwater — from the rivers and plains of Collarenebri to the urban environment of Sydney. I’ve included gathering places and community kin to honour the people, connections, and stories that accompany this journey, celebrating the bonds of family and community that persist across generations and distance.

Through these elements, Freshwater Saltwater explores memory, movement, and the enduring connections between place, people, and culture. The work invites viewers to reflect on journeys of belonging, the blending of Country and City, and the ways in which Aboriginal identity is carried, shared, and transformed across landscapes.

Our Beliefs

Artist First. Always.

We value our artists in everything we do. We work closely together to bring their artworks to life.

We pay artist royalties on the full retail price - even during sales - because we'd never devalue their work. And they guide where our community contributions go.

Our Beliefs

Storytelling Matters

We value storytelling as an Indigenous tradition and artform. As custodians, we protect these stories through our work with artists and the way their art is translated.

Every piece honours its story, and when you wear it, you help carry it forward - because storytelling lives on.

Our Beliefs

Culture Is Everything

Culture shapes how we see, speak, move, and create. Every design continues a deeper story. Through fashion, we honour culture and celebrate the people and stories behind it.

Our Beliefs

Business is a force for change

We believe business should create opportunities and drive change. Giving back is central to who we are. 25% of profits go to Indigenous artists and communities.

Our Beliefs

Art Should Feel Good

The fabric, design, ethos and the impact should all align. We want people to look good, feel good and do good. Creativity is about expression, connection, inclusivity and a sense of belonging.
