Weaving the Kimberley

 

I spent ten days in the Kimberley region soaking up stories, atmospheres and colours. I saw apparitions, willy willies, fossils and the Bee-Eaters iridescent wings. I marveled at the tangled radial roots systems of the mangroves and the rich red earth. I laughed with old friends and strengthened new ones. 

 

I then came back to Melbourne and started to paint and weave. Using the connecting roots of the mangrove as a metaphor, the warp and weft threads came to symbolize the various threads of my Kimberley experience. Using Adobe Photoshop® allowed me to layer these moments and in doing so, reflect upon the fluid nature of time and memory.

Sample/Together  combines diagrams, textile and paper craft processes with new and recycled materials to create a collection of interrelated samples or ‘one offs’.    These interrelated drawings and forms, reference collage, and the assembling and juxtaposing of sample against sample, to create endlessly flexible wholes. Grid layouts, diagrams and circular forms feature throughout and while there is replication, variation abounds.   Inspired by the display tables and cabinets found within museum contexts,  Sample/Together  forms an archive of process, a record of action and documents the potential of patterns to create new hybrid forms.
