Australian Artist creating drawings and textiles that connects the past to the present using symbols that can lead to healing and growth.
Message
This artwork started with the idea of using a circular piece of wire to create an artwork referencing a DreamCatcher but with a combination of European techniques combined with something organic and raw. This was a very slow work that built over time. The finishing touch was the Shisha mirrors which gave the work as special 'something'. I love the combination of the running stitch with the Vintage embroidered collar. To me it evokes difference yet similarity; a sense of shared humanity and culture.
