Possum - Ngarga Warendj
NEW to Present Story, the wonderful art of Mick Harding showcasing Mick's signature South Eastern Aboriginal Animal designs as stunning metal art creations.
"Walert the Possum is a night feeder, and a day sleeper. We use possum skins to make Gugra or possum skin cloaks, which we wear to keep warm. We decorate the cloaks and wear them in our traditional ceremony.
Aboriginal art in Victoria is unique in its symbolism. It links with our stories and songlines like fingers reaching out to other areas of Australia.
When I create something I express my cultural integrity in place, be respectful of interpretation of my culture, and share my story as a Taungwurrung Kulin (Aboriginal man from my traditional country)." - Mick Harding
