This hat was created using two original artworks by Tootsie Daniel called Many Rivers and New Life.

“When I started making art, I found it very healing. Art is an expression of how you are. I suppose I like bright colours, it reflects a brighter future. The colours brighten you up. New life and new beginnings. The blue is the deep waters, the red is strength and courage, the pink is new beginnings.” – Tootsie says of her Swirly Works as she fondly calls this body of work.

Yindjibarndi cultural knowledge from the Millstream Tableland. Tootsie was born at Yarraloola Station near Pannawonica and grew up in Onslow, living at the Old Reserve and the Onslow Hostel.

Tootsie began painting 10 years ago as a means of healing after the death of her son, and depicts Yindjibarndi stories, rivers, plants and seasons.

“The Country got feelings too, and when you look after Country, Country look after you. It’s one of them spiritual things that we believe as Yindjibarndi people. When you go on your Country, it’s like home is calling you. Like you’re back home again. You just want to stay there a couple of days. A visit on Country is really rewarding. It brings you back.”  Tootsie Daniel, 2021
