K is for Kurulbrang in Noongar language, more commonly known as Kangaroo Paw and the species Angiozanthos. Another fire-adapted plant, endemic to Noongar Country in South-Western WA, the Kurulbrang has amazing healing properties and has been used in traditional medicine for thousands of years. Crushed leaves and roots were used as a poultice to treat wounds, infections, cuts, and burns, and the nectar and tubers were a food source.
This 20 x 20 mini acrylic painting is part of an A-Z series showing the diversity and beauty of Australian flora. The artist grew up in Aotearoa New Zealand, and the project was an exercise in learning and appreciating Aboriginal language and plant lore, and learning more about Australian plant species.
The entire purchase price of this work (excluding shipping) will be donated to Deadly Science, a leading Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander led non-profit organisation dedicated to bringing STEM tools, programs, and mentorship to regional and remote communities across Australia, inspiring the next generation of First Nations scientists. More about Deadly Science.
