Jacinta ERMACORA (Western Victoria) (09:57): Today I want to talk about a piece of art that I am actually wearing. This is a unique Australian garment, and in fact it is a unique western Victorian garment. This cardigan was designed by Sherry Johnstone, a Keerray Woorroong and Yorta Yorta woman. Sherry is a contemporary Indigenous artist from south-west Victoria. She has deep ancestral connections to the region, including Moyjil, the site depicted in this artwork, formerly known as Point Ritchie. Moyjil is one of the oldest known sites of human habitation in Australia. This jacket is made from Australian extra-fine merino wool knitted at Kilmaille Knits, near Harrow, on a fourth-generation wool farm. Sherry Johnstone’s fashion label Flash1A, launched this year, was featured at the Melbourne Fashion Festival’s First Nations runway. Sherry has shown what is possible when an Indigenous creator combines artistic skill and business ambition and finds the right partners to bring that vision to life. Sherry’s work is one great example of what Victorian treaty is about: inclusion of Aboriginal people in business and artistic life in our state. I congratulate Sherry and wish her all the best for her business future.
