Story: Burrai Wula means baby emu in Yorta Yorta language. This piece wasn’t something I planned. The canvas began as sort of extra pallete for other paintings I was working on, but trusting in time something would reveal itself. Then suddenly, with a single brushstroke of black, a baby emu quickly and energeticlly emerged. From that moment I simply followed the instinct and felt as though the burrai wula itself was guiding me. Even the background — long grass and soft movement — seemed to form in sync with its feathers.
Baby emus are special and significant. They look quite different from the adults — marked with distinct stripes and patterns, almost like a map. These markings feel like a blueprint of the path they’re about to take, written on their bodies in early life. As they grow the markings fade, yet the story remains held within their DNA and within their connection to Country.
