Totemic Spirit Figures

As a multicultural society, we all bring different cultures and perspectives. And
sometimes we become disconnected from belonging. Ultimately, we are all indigenous to somewhere on this planet. These totemic spirit figures embody the spirit of all indigenous ancestry and are an invitation for us to consider our own origins, our connection to nature, our responsibilities to learn about and care for this country and to respect the knowledge of our indigenous people.

Totemic Spirit Figures are a waste-to-art project. Each sculpture is created out of
stacked recycled flower pots, djembes, urns, vases, timber and other found materials. They are glued together with liquid nails, painted with acrylic paint and sealed with a waterproof gloss sealer. Each sculpture features hand-made or found accessories relevant to their characteristics.

would be better displayed indoors to minimise damage and ensure their longevity

feather headdress.

armoured, slow rambler
