Over the previous 12 months, designer Emily Wright from Australian clothing company Nancybird, has been working on a second collection featuring my designs. This collection, named Sky Water, is of special significance to me as it features my 2024 diptych 'Stars, Night Herons and the Politics of Envy' and 'Spring full of Hope' . Both works carry messages of caring for landscape.

Emily writes, "Based on the floodplains of the Murray River on Barapa Barapa country, Wendy paints the shifting rhythms of water, earth and sky. Her loose, layered brushwork and organic forms are reimagined here through bold placement prints, panel detailing and thoughtfully constructed silhouettes.⁠
⁠
Across smocked blouses and printed outerwear, her artwork moves with the body - complemented by textured corduroy, soft seersucker and expressive knitwear in rich, grounded hues and relaxed pants. ⁠
⁠
A versatile, textural collection designed for the season’s change.⁠"
