‘Gerdewoon’ Slipcast Boab Nut
$550.00
For Peggy Griffiths-Madij “Country is everything. It has all the food, medicine, spirit and happiness.” Embellished with abstract motifs representing the spinifex plains of her country, connected to the rhythm of seasons and the life-giving source of food, water and cultural knowledge, this elegant porcelain work of Gerdewoon (boab) acknowledges that while mediums and techniques change, the value and richness of cultural knowledge remains.
‘Gerdewoon’ – Miriwoong for the iconic Kimberley boab is the inspiration for these unique ceramic objects. For thousands of years an important source of bush tucker, a medicine, a vessel, an engraved object and gift of cultural exchange, these objects translate the east Kimberley artistic tradition of boab engraving into contemporary form.
Designed by select Waringarri artists, these exquisite objects are created using Australian porcelain, slip cast in hand carved moulds using a multi-coloured process. Waringarri Arts studio technicians meticulously refine the porcelain castings by hand allowing each object to inherit an individually crafted quality.
