Transcending into the story of the historical world of Australian flora fills one with fluid, comforting thoughts of home. From the whimsical tale of the falling leaves, to the movement of each dot as you spiral around the petals through each chapter.
From buds to flowers, we see a botanical world blossoming, marking a point in time and capturing such intricate tales of a land so far away.
The path of the leaves speaks nature's language of Australia's indigenous. One can step into this world and inhabit all its native flora, and consequently, tell their own dreamtime story...

I am proposing a range of eight contemporary fabrics for the winter 2010 women’s fashion collection of the Brisbane-based design label ‘Easton Pearson’ titled ‘A dreamtime story’.
Through following Pamela Easton and Lydia Pearson’s same ‘fluid and adaptive’ working practice, I present to you a range of eclectic designs inspired by the traditional art practices of our own indigenous Australians.
Each piece reflects Australia’s beautiful flora through the artistic key rituals of aboriginal culture and consequently tell their own dreamtime story.

Techniques in these fabric designs include Polysol dying and transferring onto fabric, beading, drawing and painting, hand sewing, machine sewing along with collage cutting and pasting of papers and fabrics.
