Jurbihl in the Bundjalung-Yugambeh language means ‘Totem Spirit-Being’
As part of the Naidoc Celebration ‘Heal Country’ I wanted to explore how our culture is responsible for the stewardship of the sacred sites across Australia. I loved hearing the stories of how Totem Spirit-Beings emerged and created natural objects, plants and animals and I wanted to interpret this into my artwork.
Each family belongs to a group responsible for the stewardship of their totem: the flora and fauna. This consists of managing natural resources ensuring that they are not plundered to the point of extinction, and also the spiritual management of all the ceremonies necessary to ensure adequate rain and food when the season changes.
