Be the Spark Lorna Fencer Napurrula | Sofitel Broadbeach 2026 The central figureYear: 2025 Size: 106 x 59cm cotton tree, emu feathers, ochre, fire and cotton rag These works are centered around the handmade Cotton Tree fire sticks decorated in ochre and emu feathers. These materials reflect the country I belong to. This can open an interesting conversation about the diversity of Indigenous culture with a connection to people and place. Fire becomes the metaphor in these works as the graphic text speaks to words of encouragement
