Yinarr Maramali & Amy Hammond: Guppa-Dhii (cuppa-tea)
Guppa-Dhii (cuppa-tea) is a tribute to the sacred space dhii holds for deep connections, meaningful yarning and moments of silence. As Yinarr, it is within this space where some of the most important life knowledge, cultural continuation and cultural revitalisation happens.
The practice, preparation, warmth, smell and taste of dhii often evokes cherished memories of the artist Amy Hammond's Nan Yvonne. As a child they travelled between Moree and Wellington a lot, and it was common for Amy's Nan to travel with her hot Moree water, condensed milk, sugar and enamel cups. One day the car broke down outside of Coonabarabran, on the Narrabri side. While waiting from Pop to return, they shared a guppa-dhii.
The lomandra weavings in the West Space Window are modelled after Amy's Nan's enamel cups and celebrate their shared moments with a warm guppa-dhii.
