Aboriginal Artist Mr Gary Prior was very accommodating
in putting his art on this vegetable tanned fur on Kangaroo skin. A very
impressive result. Mr Prior is very enthusiastic about using this medium to
help express his art.
“3
hands represent my children which are connected to this land,
I paint on the wallaby skins because the skin is a
part of my culture in many ways, such as we use it's meat for food and skin
for clothing and bones for tools and weapons. The painting on skins
is a way to express how I am connected to this land with the animals I use
to create the story. I also paint the different seasons which the
land has and the different colours. The dry and wet, thanks, Gary Prior”
This ancient Australian Marsupial’s skin was Harvested
from a large red Kangaroo (Macropus Rufus) by Mrs Jill O’Hara on
Stenhouse Station, Hughenden. Mrs O’hara had to take extra care to produce
a skin for long-tail and hair-on processing.
The skin was tanned and finished at the Hughenden
Tannery by Mr Greg O’Hara, Jill’s husband. Since then he has developed a
line of chrome tanned artists skins that Mr Prior has found exceptional to
paint on.
Mr Robert Dunlop master woodcraftsman was delighted to
design a usable structure utilising Acacia Nilotica timber.
Mr Dunlop is pleased to promote his passion for Western
timbers and leather in finishing the presentation of this fine piece of
art.
The Kangaroo Industry has come to the fore as a major
primary industry. Currently because of the lean nutritious meat, previously
the leather represented by fine lines of leathers predominantly for the
athletic shoe.
Kangaroo leather weight for weight is the strongest
leather in the world.
With this structure DPRooArt1 we are
highlighting the production chain that will be forged to maximise the
returns to :
- The
Harvester who will select, prepare and deliver the quality article
desired for each line,
- The
Tannery- processing the skin accordingly,
- The
Artist
- The
woodscraftsmen who will design and construct a complimentary structure
out of western timbers for the art and skin.
- The
Western Timbers.
The Production chain will give recognition
to the individual kangaroo, participating property owner, harvester,
Governmental control of the industry, tannery, artist, woodscraftsmen, and
the western and Australian timbers.
It will also maximise the potential of all mediums used.
