Description
Inspired by Ashley Chitty
‘Birak’ pays respects to one of the 6 six seasons on Noongar boodja country where Chitty grew up, and is her birth season. The beginning of Indigenous seasons aren’t dictated by certain days or months, but by the change of weather, flora, and fauna. Birak is the first summer, hot and dry, and is regarded as the season of the young. Young animals leave the nest and start venturing beyond into the world. This playful image evokes the feeling of skating – embracing the season of the young, freedom, and remembering to be young at heart.
The colours of Birak are encapsulated in the mustard yellow suede outer with coral pink laces and eyelets. The skate’s lining was a collaboration with Perth’s Kamsani Bin-Salleh (@Kambarni). Kam is a Nimunburr/Yawuru/Ballardong artist who uses the natural world to inspire his work and has provided his abstract interpretation of this Noongar season.
