Patterned kookaburra and turkey feathers, seashells and gumnuts; some of the many alluring treasures that surround the beautiful and sacred grounds of Pearl Beach. This life-sized dreamcatcher, woven together with sticks and organic string, is bound by gemstones and coral representing the familiar streets and avenues that I have the privilege to call my home. It invites viewers on a lucid dreamy journey through our beautiful community, through a subjective lens.
