about

diyalana translating to silver wattle in Yorta Yorta, celebrates our intimate connection with our homelands. A grinding stone encompasses the music, connecting us spherically; up, down, backwards and forwards in time. An integral part of our everyday lifestyles, diyalana was like the oldest smartphone ever, versatile to no end but without the stress of a flat battery! The plant is still used for medicine, sweet drinks and baking, its wood for crafting tools and weapons, and the flowers to honour those we have lost. While grieving the depth of loss colonisation has inflicted, diyalana offers a magnitude of hope. It signifies a way to move forward connecting old traditions to the present.
