To play the Yidaki is to perfect the delicate dance between breathwork, utilising your chest and abdominal muscles, and your voicebox…a practice that can feel meditative, grounding, and at times, euphoric. I wanted the artwork to reflect this. The ‘forest floor’ represents both the grounding this instrument is capable of (for both player and listener), while also representing the feeling that being on Country has on the soul. The shift from green to purple is the shift from day to night, which is encompassed by red and yellow, representing the Ochre of Australia.
