All materials supplied, Limited Positions Available
This event has been cancelled. Please contact us if you have any questions.

Her diverse creative practice includes a thorough investigation into the use of recycled and plant materials, taking contemporary fibre arts practice to strange and unexpected places. 

The spirit of her woven objects are also captured as 2-dimensional works, using alternative cyanotype photographic processes (sun-printing) along with plant pigments to make reflections of top-end land and sea scapes. Her woven forms have been immortalised in bronze as a series of large-scale bronze public works across Darwin’s iconic coastal locations. She generously shares her creative passions in workshops and presentations in schools, universities, festivals, galleries and remote Indigenous communities throughout Australia. 

Cyanotype , also known as sun-printing is an alternative photographic process invented in the early 1800s. This fun and simple technique involves placing objects on paper with light-sensitive chemistry. The cyanotype process involves placing objects, such as wind fallen leaves and dried flowers, on paper or fabric coated with light-sensitive chemicals This is left in the sun where you see the imagery appear before your eyes. Cyanotype uses simple chemistry that makes a beautiful cyan blue. Learn cyanotype and produce your own sun prints on paper , using gathered items collected on a walk together to make a gorgeous hand-made little book or a series of gift cards.
