Storylines Set — Two Piece — Midnight Dreaming (view 2) — The Storylines Set · Worn on Country

Every line tells a story. Every mark carries memory. It starts as a painting — the pathways of our Ancestors, journeys of knowledge, family, resilience and belonging. Then the story is carried into cloth, and worn.

On Country, with community

Ochre shared by hand, murals made together, gatherings across the Hunter and NSW — the part of the work that never gets photographed for a catalogue.

Ngyaguyamilang Dhulubong

Beautiful soul from my homeland, the Wiradjuri people

I founded Midnight Dreaming as a visionary artist for change.

It is my life’s mission to help reshape the narrative around Aboriginal culture — to true recognition of the incredible strength and beauty of our communities.

100% Aboriginal-owned. Founded by Renae Lamb, Wiradjuri/Wongaibon.
