Dillybag Original Artwork

Dillybag – Original Artwork
A symbol of strength, resourcefulness, and deep cultural knowledge, Dillybag is a striking, textural piece that pays tribute to the woven carriers traditionally used by Aboriginal women. 
Representing sustenance, survival, and the passing down of wisdom, the hand-painted white dillybag emerges from a deep, moody black background, emphasizing its significance as both a practical tool and a cultural marker. The textured surface invites touch, echoing the woven fibres of real dillybags once crafted from plant materials.
 
Measuring 60cm x 60cm, Dillybag will come framed in a Tasmanian oak frame, adding warmth and grounding the artwork in natural beauty. A contemporary yet timeless statement piece, it speaks to the resilience and ingenuity of First Nations women, their stories carried through generations like the treasured contents of a dillybag.
