A set of four beautiful Aboriginal cushions. Each velvet polyester cushion features soft padding and has a removable outer cover. The covers are machine washable in cold water. The Aboriginal cushions each measure 60cm in diameter. They feature the artwork of Billyara and Charlie Wicking. Perfect for creating comfortable and welcoming play spaces or reading areas. The soft pillows introduce Indigenous culture into any classroom with their authentic artworks.
Charlie Wicking has been painting approximately since 1999. Charlie is inspired daily by her natural environment, particularly the sea, and this is reflected in her artworks. She loves the area that she lives in, the wonder of the rainforests, the beauty of the sea and the harshness of the earth when nature is at its hottest. Charlie has a colourful and vibrant style and is a talented artist. Charlie Wicking's real name is Charmaine Marree Baggow and she was born in Mackay, Queensland. The Traditional Custodians of the land is this area and surrounding districts is the Yuibera, Barada Barna and Widi Tribes. She is a descendant of Aboriginal and South Sea Islander people of that area. Her South Sea Islander family came from the Solomon Islands and Vanuatu. Charlie values her Ancestral past and she acknowledges her descendants proudly. "We have to protect the land and sea where we live and play, once it's gone, it's gone. You can't eat or drink money. If we protect country, country will protect and provide for us."
Billyara is a respected artist from the Wiradjuri tribe. The name Billyara comes from the artist's totem, an eagle, which stems from his connection with the land. He has been painting Aboriginal art for over 20 years and teaches these traditions to younger generations. His artwork is a mix of traditional and contemporary Aboriginal art with a Western influence. He has exhibited extensively, and has sold his paintings internationally.
These cushions have been treated with an anti microbial product from Fresche Bioscience. This antimicrobial treatment scan kill up to 99.9% of odour causing bacteria. It can also help to prevent the formation of harmful biofilms, and helps to prevent infestation of dust mites. This new anti-microbial treatment also inhibits the growth of mould, mildew and fungus in these sheets. This treatment does wear away over time with washing, and so it does not last forever. This time will depend on how often the cushion covers are washed and how they are washed and dried.
