Description

Maata - Echidna  
Aboriginal tribal and clan groups each have a totem.  A totem is a natural object, plant or animal that is inherited by members of a clan or family as their emblem and the group is responsible for the stewardship of their totem.  My totem is the Wedge Tail Eagle.
This artwork depicts our echidna.  Uniquely Australian the echidna is a native animal that is greatly enjoyed as a rich source of protein by Aboriginal people while the quills were used for many day to day purposes.
Canvas Prints
Available in 5 sizes, the canvas frames are made of kiln-dried wood to a depth of 3cm. These high-quality frames have a raised lip along their edges that prevents indentations from appearing on the canvas prints.
The high quality canvases are made from matte cotton and their GSM count is 360. In order to protect your canvas photo prints, we seal them with a coating that makes them resistant to ultraviolet light, dust and water.
Canvases are made to order and take 10-15 business days for delivery.

The cushion covers originate from a commission series in 2014 for Hunter Health
