 THE ART COLLECTION: INSPIRATION, A LIFE OF THE SPIRIT 

The home is showcase to an impressive collection of Aboriginal art, assembled over years of travel, illustrating a deep understanding of the spiritual basis for this unique form. Created exclusively by women and passed down from mother to daughter, the creation process of Australian Indigenous Art is actually a ceremony. These dreamings, essentially prayers, are infused with powerful symbols, carried down a family line, and were originally executed in sand. The sand paintings offer an ephemeral expression of the artist’s true purpose. This process was influenced in the 1970s by enthusiasts from the West, and these works are now commonly executed in paint, thus making them permanent and collectible: with each artist’s dreaming, expressed in their unique way — rhythmic, alive and mysterious. The collection was built concurrent with the creation of the home — a rare example of a masterful collaboration between architect, art form and owner. The result is at once elegant, substantial, luxurious and useful, a true expression of the power of good residential design.
