cotton tree, eucalypt, natural ochre, charcoal, bees wax and emu feathers 

These fire sticks reference the traditional tools used by First Nations people to create fire.

Each item is hand crafted by the artist using native cottonwood, eucalypt, native bees wax and emu feathers.

The longer eucalypt stick is placed inside one of the smaller holes and is then repeatedly hand spun until a tiny, glowing ember appears.

The ember is placed onto dry grass or plant material and gently blown on to make a flame.

The burnt decorative tips and emu feathers evoke both the practical and spiritual aspects of this traditional object, while paying homage to cultural heritage and ancestral wisdom.
