Connecting with Country

This beautiful neutral artwork is by Bundjalung artist Holly Sanders.

The Story Behind the Design

Designed by Holly Sanders, this work acknowledges the traditional owners of this land and pays respects to Elders past and present. This work symbolises meeting on Country. We are spiritually and culturally connected to country. The land, sky, waters, flora and fauna together form ‘Country’. Country sustains our lives in every aspect - spiritually, physically, emotionally, socially, and culturally. There are no mountains, trees, animals or moon and stars in the sky that is not interconnected with our culture or kin. Our ancestors walked this sacred Country for millennia and continue to live on in the land, waters, flora, fauna and the sky

Cleaning the rug

Vacuum Regularly. Avoid any cleaning agent with bleach or strong chemicals. It is best to try an area for colourfastness before using across a large area of the rug. We recommend to use a dry powder style of cleaner as they can be vacuumed out of the rug and do not leave any residue. When cleaning, always blot, and never scrub or rub abrasively.

DO NOT run vacuum directly over outer serged edge of carpet. This can create fraying.   Clean spills immediately by blotting with a cloth or sponge. Remove any grease spots with ordinary dry cleaning solvents. If you do vacuum over the edge of the rug it can cause serge yarn to become frayed and torn. It is always best to test a cleaner on an inconspicuous spot on the carpet/rug before applying to the entire piece.
 Professional or periodic cleanings using the power spray-extraction carpet cleaning method are recommended. You should have the smallest possible amount of cleaning chemical used when you hire a professional cleaner. Allow to dry flat on the floor.

Not recommended for use outdoors or in bright sunlight as the material colours may fade over time.
