KAMBI – Fashion Collection, Anne Nunn, Kababina print

I am a Nyungul woman. My art depicts cultural, historic and contemporary stories from my Country, the Helensvale and Shipton’s Flat area in Far North Queensland. 

My fabric print represents the waterlily that live and grow around my bubu (country). I love going out bush and am especially inspired by the wetlands.

Biography:

My name is Anne Nunn and I am a Nyungul women. I was born in Mossman, QLD and grew up in Wujal Wujal.

My grandfather’s people are from the Helenvale area. Our totem is the Kadanji, red tail black cockatoo and the Yawu, stingray.

I have been making art for a few years now and have just started working with ochres. 

I remember the old stories and put them in my artwork.
