| STATEMENT |
|
|
I am an interdisciplinary visual artist - specializing in Textile Art, Wearable Art making, Environmental Art, Wildlife Costume Designing and Project Management.
My artworks are inspired by the beauty of Australian surroundings and its diverse ecosystems; and major events that happened in my life, especially my involvement with various environment groups and NGO's. The association and qualities of my artworks and their evocation envelopes every inch of my work and are directly linked to traditional knowledge of weaving that has been passed on by Elders.
I explores and blended the processes of Contemporary, Postmodern and Conceptual Art, and with craft-making I have created my own unique design. I used my artworks on raising environmental awareness t and my desire to use art as catalyst to raise gender equality and equal rights for women and cross – cultural understanding.
Each element evokes a metaphor as a woven image using threads, paints and fabrics to create an astonishing palette of colours and textured surfaces. The result is rhythmic stitches that produced an integrated figurative form of images and well blended colours which entwine with knowledge and story to tell a deeper story. My artworks illuminate processes that are inherently multidimensional, creative, interactive and dynamic. |
