This collection of implements references a diverse range of domestic tools. Hand-built ceramic utensils of colanders, oven forks and pastry brushes; simply glazed, allude to the traditions of make and make do for the women of Meroogal. Perhaps not precious
objects by today’s standards, this domestic arsenal was integral for the unchallenged female rulers of Meroogal’s kitchen. Useful objects would be repaired, handed down and treasured by generations of womenfolk in Australian households in contrast to our current consumer culture.
