Art of Healing - greeting card - Treahna Hamm
The ‘Art of Healing’ gift range illustrates Indigenous healing methods of the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander communities and is drawn from selected works from the University of Melbourne Medical History Museum collection.
Tri-fold greeting card featuring the artwork ‘Dhungala cool burn’ by Yarrawonga (Victoria) indigenous artist Treahna Hamm. The triptych depicts traditional times of Yorta Yorta women and girls collecting bush foods and remedies after traditional ‘cool burns’, the practise of using low-intensity fire to manage, maintain and regenerate plant, tree and grass growth.
Originally painted with acrylic paint, river sand, and bark ink on canvas, this greeting card reproduction is printed in Melbourne. Each card is blank and includes an envelope.
