Quote From the artist:
“I have used the imagery of the coolamon to represent women and womanhood. Our givers of life; holders of wisdom, culture and lore; gatherers of food and medicine and nurtures of young. The coolamon is used traditionally to hold foods like nuts, berries, roots, grubs and insects and to hold and burn bush medicine, as well as to cradle new babies.”

Additional information: | The Coolamon Keyring is a collaboration between Aboriginal artist, Elizabeth Close, and Aboriginal owned and managed business, Ochre Dawn. About the artist: Elizabeth Close is an Anangu woman from the Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara language groups in the APY Lands in outback South Australia. She was born in Adelaide but spent much of her upbringing in remote communities, re-learning her language and receiving cultural education. The evolution of her artwork reflects this. Elizabeth's work is a vibrant fusion of contemporary and traditional Aboriginal art styles; using vivid warmth to express her deep connection to the Central Australian landscape that she calls home, and bold designs that bring about awareness of issues affecting Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people. |
