‘Sky Country’
Artwork Meaning-
First Nations people have been looking up at the night sky to teach and learn lessons for thousands of years. First Nations people have been able to build up a complex knowledge of the stars and their movements. The stars and the moon don’t just light the night sky, but are sources of meaning, stories of Dreaming and Creation, traditions, ancestors, culture and history. Many First Nations people have an excellent understanding of the motions of the moon, and its relationship to the tides. Its phase, position, appearance and brightness all have special significance and meaning. Lunar phases are linked to the different tides and incorporated into Saltwater Country knowledge systems. This knowledge informs hunting, fishing and agricultural practices. The stars are seen as a compass, a clock and a seasonal calendar. The night sky is a source of knowledge about aspects of life and Lore. When we look to the night sky we look upon the same stars as our ancestors did and find strength in the knowledge that they are looking down on us, always guiding.

Care Instructions-
Please take care in handling your new print as the paper and canvas is very receptive to oils and moisture from skin. Ensure your hands have been washed and dried thoroughly. Handle as little as possible. Avoid hanging in direct sunlight.
Paper and canvas framing yourself-
Professional framing is highly recommended. Paper prints are also designed to fit standard frames so if you were to frame yourself, please handle with the utmost care. Handle the edges of the print without touching the front surface, and with larger prints, it may help to get a second person to carefully help.
Every print comes with a certificate of authenticity – these are limited to /50 editions per size in each design.
