MALKI STUDIO | ‘Basalt Necklace' | Black ceramic / natural stones / precious metalsBasalt Necklace "This necklace comes from our Basalt Collection. Basalt is a hard and darkly coloured rock formed by the flow of lava. In Bargara Queensland, where Malki Studio is based, basalt rocks cover much of our coastline, setting a colour palette of dark grey black and blue which we find delightful. In tribute to our natural surroundings, we have created the Basalt necklace, which features textured black ceramic beads, blue heat coloured

Note from the artist:

'Ho mi ho kui ngung pekongTokunnoi riku

The same sand bank is there today

a lot of activity happens whether on the reefs

These artists bring to life the unique cultural story and expression of the distinctive Aboriginal rainforest art traditions and culture of the Girringun region

overseeing day-to-day life and educating youths in rituals

They are excellent foragers who eat a variety of wetland plants
