Earth Wirri - New Volumes

Water carriers, coolamon + old baked clay forms born of Yuwaalaraay inspire the design of Earth Wirri (terracotta dish).​​​​​​​​
​​​​​​​​
Measuring 675mm X 175mm X 115mm​​​​​​​​ and etched with the stories of place drawn from the floodplains + hand crafted by artisans in Italy, this collaborative piece embodies country + tradition and the role of First Nations design not only as objects of beauty and function but as conduits to knowledge / transfer / relationships - with a story that continues with each set of hands that it passes through.​​​​​​​​

Featuring as part of New Volumes Collection 02.

Artistic Direction by Thomas Coward, styling by Nat Turnbull and Photography by Sean Fenessey.
