On a trip to Yorta Yorta Country – Echuca, Toorumbarry, whilst visiting my cousin I made a series of baskets using found materials around me, which were in abundance. Traditionally the land that I stayed on was a ceremonial ground, filled with hundreds of scar trees and a great presence of spirit.

Today it is farming country – cattle and milking mainly. Within the basket you will find an array of materials including packing tape which held straw bales together. Galah feathers, cockatoo feathers, emu feathers, parrot feathers, artichoke flower stamins (from the vegie garden of my cousin) and insect wing (pink winged preying mantis) are also included in this weaving.

Lisa found it a great spiritual connection to be on that Country - one that at times can be so harsh, yet so very beautiful. She wanted to capture the essence of spirit that is with in this Country.
