     About the Artwork

    This artwork is inspired by my childhood memories of gathering pipis. Pipis are small, edible saltwater clams.

    My family and I would camp at the Myall Lakes, part of the country of the Worimi Aboriginal people, and gather pipis on the shoreline of the beach - similar to my ancestors. The sand dunes in the Worimi Conservation Lands hold midden sites (accumulations of shells), which were created when my people would collect, cook and eat pipis. These sand dunes are recognized as the largest moving coastal dunes in the Southern Hemisphere. As the sands shift they cover and uncover these midden sites.

    In this piece the overlapping semi-circles are symbolic of the pipis we would gather. The colours are representative of both my identity as an LGBTQIA+ person, and directly of the pipis and their environment. The light pinks and purples are reminiscent of the inside shell of the pipis, while the yellows and greens represent the beach areas the pipis would grow and the surrounding wildlife areas.

    Beautifully made, with a high-quality feel and true-to-size fit. The world pride ethos is secondary to the rhythmic, colourful interpretation of Country.

    Feedback

    Absolutely love my new swimmers. I live on Worimi country so am excited to be wearing this fabulous design. I am also a gay man so equally happy to be celebrating Pride when I wear them.

    A friend saw me on the beach this morning, I sent him the link and he has already put in an order!!

    Well done on a great venture.

    Comfortable and good looking swimmers.

    Bright happy colours. Very comfortable to wear. Great low to mid-rise fit for swimming without needing to constantly adjust them.
