‘Lyrebird Song’ is a story of the male lyrebird dancing for the love of his female lyrebird partner. With his feathers, he dazzles his lady and together they meet, creating life. This love story is depicted in two contemporary possum skin cloaks, male and female. Embroidery tells the story through image and stitched Aboriginal symbols.
When not teaching others through Cultural Art practices, Leanne enjoys Landscape drawing and reflects her connection to Country through poetry.
