Barbara Quayle -  “The Art of Broken Hill: Traditional to Contemporary” group exhibition at Parliament House

In the spirit of our ancestors and sacred connection to country, I Barb Quayle of Palirika Barka Jewelry, present a collection of jewelry crafted from the heart of Barkindji Kiira (country). Each piece is a celebration of my heritage, incorporating a variety of gumnuts, native plants, emu feathers, echidna quills, and other nature all transformed with care and respect into jewelry that carry the essence of my culture. These creations are a bridge to the deep, spiritual connection we all share with Country. Through my website, I would like you to engage in the experience of the beauty and wisdom of Australian Aboriginal craftsmanship, with some pieces resonating with stories and traditions of the Barkindji Weimpatja’s (people).
