All is in place for our launch at 10 am this Tuesday!
In case you are interested, here is some information about the battery's artwork:
Artist: Glenn Shaw
Glenn is a proud Bunurong (Victoria) and Plangermairreenner (Tasmania) Aboriginal man, strongly connected to Community and Culture. Glenn was born on Flinders Island, Tasmania in 1958 and started painting as a teenager.
Artwork: Bush Currant
The Bush Currant grows in the coastal zone all around the country. There are a number of varieties and colours which include Red, which are often found in North Queensland and the White/Yellow variety which are found in Victoria, Tasmania and across to Western Australia. The Currant is a small berry with a number of seeds, very sweet taste and has a high vitamin C level.
They flower during the Bunurong Seasons of Garrawang (December) and Bidarep (January-February). The Artwork also depicts 2 campsites where those collecting the seeds were camping, 2 waterholes/springs which represent the Bunurong connection to water with the remaining 7 circles depicting the 7 Seasons of the Kulin Nation being:
Bidarep (Dry Season January – February),
Lum (Eel Season – March),
Waring (Wombat Season - April – July),
Guling (Orchid Season – August),
Poorneet (Tadpole Season – September – October),
Buarth (Guru Grass Flowering Season – November)
and Garrawang (Kangaroo Apple Season – December).
The 5 colours in the circles represent the 5 main apical ancestor groups of the Bunurong people.
