Lisa gathered great inspiration on a recent exhibition at the Koorie Heritage Trust in Melbourne, where she was commissioned to create a piece that would complement their weaving collection. She spent some time in the depths of their collection, gathering insight and motivation from their stories, materials and beauty. The collection features traditional and contemporary feather and fibre craft practices that existed pre-invasion, and that have continued to evolve over the past 200 years.

Through this investigation Lisa created Joining Country which features many collected found materials from nature and from an array of Country, such as Boonwurrung, Wurrundjeri, Taungurung and Yorta Yorta. Her intention was to create a connection through these stories and materials, to join the different lands into one piece, reflecting the beauty and strength of the women whom have resided and shared cultural strength to their people for thousands of years.
