A Lullaby for Little Dreamers

Written By BOHIE

Imagine waddling 
like a blue billed duck
Balancing buoyancy 
on two webbed feet

Imagine marching 
like a big bold magpie 
Head cocked, listening
For my next juicy feed

Imagine my leaves 
dancing in the breeze 
I’m a gum tree swaying
in the warm summer air

Imagine all the worlds smells 
to a bustling little ant
Out on the hunt 
for a dinner to share

Imagine the view 
from high up in the blue
I’m a cocky - soaring,
tumbling way up there

Imagine my gills 
as I weave, dash and mill
I’m a fish 
swimming for my next meal

Imagine the river 
feeding all of this life
On her wandering way out to sea

Imagine the girl, 
come to say good night
Before bedtime, 
curled up..
and asleep 

BOHIE

Based in Braidwood, NSW, BOHIE creates art, illustration, public space murals, and creative workshopping experiences that explore wonder and connection to each other and to the natural world.

She works alongside educational institutions, government agencies, community focus groups and stewards of the natural world to design change-making campaigns for each creative project. Bohie utilises a research-based methodology to find inspiration for her artworks, resulting in 2D images which are laden with deeper stories and symbolic meaning.

This narrative driven conceptual development injects her unique authenticity and grass-roots integrity into the public arena, which she sees as a conscious challenge to public advertising. In a time of rapid change, extreme instability and a globally recognised feeling of imminent threat, Bohie’s art provides messages of hope and empowerment for a changed future.
