'…and then the water whispered’ is inspired by the connective forces of flowing water, weaving through rock and soil, bone and battered gums, to find its way back to the great oceanic body. Through two winter residencies, one in the Snowy Mountains (Ngarigo Country) and the other in Kangaloon (Dharawal Country), we studied the land and how its been shaped by water, to develop our new collection. Finding inspiration in such moments as the transitional structures of a wombat shoulder bone, stone crags covered in bright alpine lichen, and the erosive paths of water, we have crafted seven talismans in silver, three of them interwoven with kumihimo silk cord handmade in Japan.
