Put your love for the environment and fellow humans in this box and save it up for when you spend time in nature with them again.

This work is about forbidden love. Garnkiny wanted to marry his mother-in-law, Darwool. Enraged because he couldn’t be with her, he left and turned into a hill. Now, every month, he comes back as the moon. In a cruel twist, the ancestors turn Darwool into the star that sits closest to the moon but never touches it. The deep isolation and longing of the would-be lovers are felt in the tension between the two forms.

Aunty Vicki West uses ethical harvesting practices to create kelp water carriers, which were only ever made by Aboriginal people in Tasmania. In the face of a brutal colonial history, these objects are also metaphors, holding culture and Country delicately. Gifts from the artist to the world, they speak of what remains, not what was lost. Only the strongest of spirits can face such adversity and give a gift in return.
