‘Fire Dreaming’ by Leah Brady. This is a story about how the Willy Wagtail (a native bird) People got fire. A flaming fire stick came from Mt Lindsay and landed in the Mann Ranges at Angatja (Leah’s homeland) in South Australia. The Willy Wagtail people picked up the fire stick. They grabbed at it gleefully and took it to their homes as they did not have fire. It is said the fire came from the sea where the Fire Men lived. It was they that threw it to Mt Lindsay. This mob (Willy Wagtail People) had tried to catch the fire stick before and they got it before the rain came. These beautiful, unique rugs are a cross-cultural collaboration combining Aboriginal designs and traditional Kashmiri rug-making techniques. Chain stitched, using hand dyed wool and finished with a heavy cotton backing, each rug is a completely handmade piece. This project is unusual because the rug is owned by the artist, rather than licensed to a third party. A more empowering way to work, this brings many direct benefits to the artists’ and their community. Control and ownership of intellectual property are also maintained. Purchase of these rugs guarantees a direct return to the aboriginal artist and their community.
