Kyra’s ceramic works represent the birthing tree of her maternal family clan – the Mardigan people of Queensland.
‘With my Great Grandfather being born under a tree these, works show contemporary markings from my clan forming identity and a sense of belonging.
The Emu feathers show the deep connection to the wildlife my people are birthed into. Weaving these separated clay pieces symbolise the roots of a tree and the continuing growth and strong bond traditions and family identity hold.'
