Aboriginal Art Chiffon Shawl Wurung (Branches)

Wiradjuri artist Amy Kilby’s rich artworks are rooted in the strength of her ancestors. They symbolise the resilience of First Nations people and the continued growth of cultural knowledge through generations.

Our NAIDOC Week collection features our talented collaborating artists' reflection on and response to this year's theme ‘The Next Generation: Strength, Vision & Legacy’. 

Made from light, breezy chiffon, these shawls drape beautifully, creating a soft and graceful silhouette without adding weight or bulk. The fabric catches the light as you move, enhancing the vibrant colours of the artwork and making it the perfect statement piece for any occasion.

Designed in a generous one-size fit, our shawls feature discreet armholes that ensure a secure and flattering drape, allowing you to move freely while maintaining a polished look. Whether layered over casual wear or paired with an evening ensemble, this shawl offers both versatility and charm, making it a staple for any wardrobe.

Story:
Wurung (Branches)

Wurung (Branches) is all about connection, resilience, and the legacy of our people.

At the centre is a tree, its roots representing our ancestors and their strength, grounding us in culture and history. The branches stretching upwards reflect the next generation, a symbol of growth, renewal, and the continuation of our story.

The footsteps leading to the tree remind us of the paths our Elders have walked. They’ve paved the way with their wisdom, resilience, and determination, creating opportunities for us to follow. Scattered across the design are symbols of our beautiful country - mountains, rocks, waterholes, and camps - showcasing the diversity of our tribes and the connection we all share with the land. The animal tracks tie in the wildlife that walks alongside us, reminding us of the importance of caring for all of the country.

The flowing lines signify the strong connections between our people and the land - it’s a bond that runs deep and holds us together. Corroboree symbols are woven throughout, celebrating the resilience, strength, and cultural pride that have been carried forward through generations. They show the ways we come together to honour our Elders and their enduring legacy.

This piece is a tribute to the roots planted by our Elders and ancestors - the foundations they’ve built and the paths they’ve paved for the next generation to flourish. It’s their strength, wisdom, and leadership that continue to guide us and inspire us to walk proudly in their footsteps.
