“The artists had the brief of combining ancient artistic techniques with current design acumen and an eye toward the future. In 2006, Page approached Richard Hoare, Breville’s design and innovation director, to begin a conversation about bringing Indigenous art to life on products that speak to people in their homes through the narrative power of visual storytelling. Page is currently Adjunct Associate Professor in design at the University of Technology Sydney, founder of the National Aboriginal Design Agency and member of several cultural Boards including the National Australia Day Council, The Art Gallery of South Australia and the National Australian Maritime Museum. “An Aboriginal Culinary Journey is an ambitious initiative to tell stories of our country using products as canvas,” says Page. Each object celebrates contemporary design and reflects 65,000 years of ongoing Australian Indigenous culture.Īlison Page, curator of the series, is a Wadi Wadi and Walbanga woman of the Yuin nation. An Aboriginal Australian Culinary Journey is tasked with creating products for the heart of the home.
