Walumarra Business was created by Australian indigenous artist Chern'ee Sutton in browns, reds and purple. Walumarra is the Kalkadoon word for Women. This print is Chern'ees interpretation of Womens Business. The women sit on their bottoms with their feet underneath them with their digging sticks on one side of them and their coolamons on the other side. They firstly collect the bush tucker and then prepare the food for medicines and food around the campfires which is represented by the red circles. When the women get up off the ground the U shape left in the sand is where they were sitting. This fabric is printed on 100 % high thread count cotton and measures 44" wide.

“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.

 Please note: when you see a ruler in a picture to get an idea of the scale of the design, it is is Centimeters, not Inches. When you see 17 cm, it is approximately 6.5 inches.
