Federation Bouquet by Janice Orchard contains the floral emblems of all Australian states and territories and celebrates the reopening of borders. Janice painted the Federation Bouquet in response to being separated from family and friends during the border closures of the Covid years and it signifies the celebration of being able to gather together again with the opening of the borders. The boot is an ongoing motif for the annual KernArt exhibition. By Janice Orchard
