a common thread

"Trees breathe what we exhale. We need what the tree exhales. So we have a common destiny with the tree. You should treat everything as spirit and realise that we are one family....We are all connected. We all belong."
Floyd Red Crow Westerman.

From forests to oceans, invertebrates to apex predators, every species of flora and fauna plays a role in creating balance and harmony on our planet. Like dropping a stitch, removing one species of plant or animal can have dire effects on a series of inter-reliant relationships, causing entire ecosystems to collapse.

This collection highlights the importance of our kinship and connection with nature as the common thread that is pivotal to her survival, as well as our own.

Multi-media artist, Andia Cally represents the beauty and complexity of landscapes and individual elements in nature that are teaming with life and interwoven with the stories and songlines that Indigenous and non-Indigenous peoples have shared for millennia.

Each piece honours the sacred, life-sustaining and reciprocal relationship between Mother Nature and humanity.
