I was inspired to create the weaved coolamon as I felt this is possibly a lost part of aboriginal culture. I have explored museums and art galleries for large sized coolamon and felt surely our ancestors used the coolamon as a way to carry and care for our babies. I have created the coolamon to reflect a wooden coolamon with the unevenness of the of the bark of the tree.

What is traditional dancing when you see it, well to me I think it brings people together for what makes it special to me because we remember the memory and the practice to be able to perform those memories in each action making it art of us an a entertainment.
