Women of the Bush Panel - Spirit of the Bush by Chern'ee Sutton for Kennard & Kennard
Women of the Bush fabric Panel was created by Australian Aboriginal artist Chern'ee Sutton, depicting a celebration of everything woman: Women sitting in a circle, with kangaroo, kookaburra, frogs and other animals looking on, and the woman in the moon looming above. A striking design printed on 100 % high thread count cotton. The panel measures approx. 30"x44" and will look great as the center medallion of a quilt or made into home decor items. It will look striking on the back of a longish jacket...
“In Kalkadoon country the song of ‘The Spirit of the Bush’ can be heard, it is the thread that binds all things together. It can be heard as a whisper sung across the landscape, it can be heard blowing through the tree’s and it can be seen skipping invisibly across the billabongs and rivers forming little ripples.”
Chern’ee comes from the Kalkadoon people of the Mount Isa area in Queensland, Australia. She takes her inspiration from the tales of her people and embraces themes of reconciliation, inclusion, sports and charity. Her style of painting incorporates traditional indigenous motifs, presented in a fresh and harmonious manner. Kennard & Kennard have now incorporated her designs on fabric.
