Jahzara Michl; Pandanus Tree

Jahzara Michl; Pandanus TreeJahzara Michl Pandanus Tree, 2025 Linocut print on 350gsm paper 39 x 28. 5cm $115 For our Kokoberrin families the leaves of a Pandanus Tree can be harvested and used to make many things. My great grandmother taught my mother how to make Pandanus arm bands as a young child. These are used as body adornments for traditional dance and ceremony.

To me it was a reminder of how brutal nature could be but yet exposing the rawness of our own backyard and creating new wonderful waterfalls to explore

It brings back so many memories of when I was learning traditional dances and the pride

They did not write the stories down so every time a story was told it would be slightly different
