Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples are three times more likely to go blind from treatable causes than other Australians. That’s why, we donate $25 from each pair of limited edition frames to The Fred Hollows Foundation. Tarisse and Saritta King’s artwork, ’My Country’s Story’ features on the four new limited edition frames which are exclusive to Specsavers. Shop the range today, to help end avoidable blindness
Growing into prolific artists in their own right, Tarisse, based in NZ and Sarrita on Larrakia Country, Northern Territory, are always investigating other mediums to express their stories, which has resulted in a range of collaborations and public projects.
A collaboration between the sisters, this year’s limited edition artwork, ‘My Country’s Story’, beautifully captures the diverse landscapes of Australia’s Top End, reflecting on the lives of families and communities who inhabit the land.
‘My Country’s Story’ is a fusion of two artworks: Tarisse King’s ‘My Country’ and Sarrita King’s ‘Language of the Earth’.
The aerial view of ‘My Country’s’ reflects on different landscapes, and specifically references Australia’s Top End, where the King Sisters grew up. The artwork Language of the Earth can be seen to tear through the country reflecting on the families and communities who live on the land, with the different strokes and dots expressing the ever‑changing growth of community, connection, and culture.
