‘Water is Life’
Artwork Meaning-
Water is of the utmost importance culturally, spiritually and physically for many First Nations people. Saltwater and freshwater sustain us in every way, such as our spiritual relationships, language, song lines, Dreamings, sacred places, customary use and the plants and animals associated with water. Thousands of years of memories and traditions are held in or near water places. Many Dreamings and sacred places are tied to the ocean and our freshwater rivers, waterways and waterholes. Many cultural places such as men’s and women’s business places, like sacred birthing areas, are held near water. First Nations people have a deep responsibility to care and look after water, making sure it is healthy. First Nations people have a complex knowledge base that enabled our survival on one of the driest continents. Water is sacred and we have the knowledge of how it has carefully been managed for thousands of years. We have custodial responsibilities to protect cultural flows in water for our future jarjums (children) and generations.

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.
Free shipping Australia wide.

Actual colours may vary. This is due to the fact that every screen has a different capability to display colours and that everyone sees these colours differently.
