Recreating a vinyl record cover for 'Island Home' by Christine Anu using a handmade approach.
The song is about longing for home. For the artist, home is the Torres Strait where coconut trees are abundant. They are a source of food, water, shelter and more - just like home. Weaving coconut leaves is also a traditional healing practise that helps to calm the mind.
The finished piece is photographed against a stark contrasted backdrop to evoke feelings of estrangement - an islander trying to adjust to city living.
