Description
Story behind the Bush Dreaming Artwork by Kiz Costelloe.
"I wanted it to replicate different perspectives of the Country from Birds Eye view. I have created each design to have its own unique layout, representing different parts of country, different mobs and different landscapes. The colours in this design were chosen to have that soft and delicate effect, with the light browns and pinks, it depicts the calmness yet resilience of our land. I’ve incorporated lines and circles to represent waterways such as rivers and waterholes. The dots and symbols around the circles show different meeting places which represent communities, towns, people gathering. I wanted each design to be unique while telling a similar story, representing the diverse landscapes which hold a lot of significance to our Country".
This rug measures 3m x 2m, making it the perfect centerpiece for any room. The heavy-duty overlocked edges ensure durability, while the deep plush nylon cut pile provides a soft and comfortable base for extended sitting time. Ideal for heavy traffic areas, these rugs are built to withstand the demands of busy environments.
The non-slip TPR (thermoplastic rubber) backing ensures that your rug stays securely in place, offering both safety and comfort. Whether for your home, office, or classroom, the Bush Dreaming Indigenous Rug collection combines functionality with cultural elegance, creating a unique and inviting atmosphere.
