Pandanus coil bag

Bronwyn Kelly

Dimensions

945 x 290 mm

Materials

Dyed pandanus, coiled and twined

Artist statement

‘The pandanus bags I have created vary greatly from the shape of coil baskets and dilly bags traditionally created by Maningrida artists. I use the traditional pandanus spiralis dyed with natural pigment in a new shape and with a new technique.’
