Magnetic Bookmark_CVA748 – A Cultural Journey Along the Murray River
The Magnetic Bookmark_CVA748 brings the ancient stories of the Ngarrindjeri people to life, featuring the captivating artwork of Cedric Varcoe. Cedric's piece illustrates the rich creation story of Ngurunderi, the Ngarrindjeri ancestral being who shaped the landscape of what is now Ngarrindjeri country. This unique bookmark is inspired by the journey Ngurunderi took down the Murray River in his canoe, following Pondi, the giant Murray Cod, whose sweeping tail created the river’s twists and turns. Along their journey, Ngurunderi and Pondi formed the landforms, lakes, and everything within Ngarrindjeri Country.
Cedric Varcoe’s artwork, depicted on this bookmark, beautifully encapsulates the spiritual significance of the Murray River, the surrounding landscape, and the creation of the Ngarrindjeri people. The rainbow, which symbolizes Ngurunderi's role in bringing rain to the land, adds a vibrant touch to the artwork, making it a striking addition to your book collection.
