Bayiibayii - Emu

Aboriginal tribal and clan groups each have a totem. A totem is a natural object, plant or animal that is inherited by members of a clan or family as their emblem and the group is responsible for the stewardship of their totem. My totem is the Wedge Tail Eagle.

The emu is traditionally a uniquely feminine image. The Emu Women found in Wonaruah country in the Hunter Valley is engraved into rock with her middle finger as a sign post (in the shape of the ridge to follow) to the women’s birthing cave.

Polyester:- Made from waterproof and UV50+ material, they are suitable for indoors & outdoors. Available in 45 x 45 cm with Bright Full Coloured Backs.

The cushion covers originate from a commission series in 2014 for Hunter Health

Tankaan Ngatan Bobong Series - Mother and Baby

Commission by Hunter New England Local District Health - Birra Li Aboriginal Maternal and Child Health Service in 2014, these 38 week pregnant belly casts of Aboriginal women from across the Hunter Valley are displayed throughout the services facilities.

This artwork celebrates the special journey of pregnancy, birth and motherhood. Each work is depicted on a uniquely crafted belly cast provided from our beautiful pregnant mums from across the region.

The blue, aqua and green ribbon flowing around the borders of the works, representing our region and communities by symbolising both the East Coast and the Hunter River.

Each artworks central figure is of an Australian native wildlife Mother and Baby. These animals, birds and fish are representative of the totems of Aboriginal tribes and passed down to babies at birth.

Totem Cushion Covers

I discovered the totem cushion covers when searching for resources for my classroom and even though I’m teaching on Anaiwan country which has the echidna as the totem my students are learning about connections to country for other language groups. These vibrant covers also stimulate artwork for my year 2.

Emu Totem Cushion Cover

Such vibrant colours - perfect to add to my classroom cushion collection to showcase Aboriginal artwork and totem animals as part of our language and cultural focus.
