BUNDA ART | ‘Australia on a String - Barramundi scale collection (3)' | Necklace | Mixed media

"Bunda comes from the Idinji word meaning "putting things together to make something". The family connection between Roy Gray (Gimuy Walaburra Yidinji Elder)  and Jo-Ann Beikoff "Milba", spans 50 years, and through our multi-generational family friendship, we are creating our own contemporary take on traditional art forms that have impacted Roy during his lifetime - within this context of reconciliation and connection, Jo-Ann and Roy work to put things together to make something. Roy gave the name Milba to Jo-Ann Beikoff. Milba means Clever. Through their artistic partnership and reconciliation, Roy's childhood stories and history are brought to life through Milba's artistic interpretation and presentation.

Our necklaces 'Australia on a String' are inspired by native pods and seeds from the land and bone, shell, and coral from our sea. All sustainably sourced and gathered " - Roy Gray
