Dimensions

Materials

Looped Kurrajong tree wood and feathers

Artist statement

‘String bags can vary greatly. I use a mix of natural wooden fibre and bird feathers to create striking variations of coloured bands. I use a traditional type of looping to produce different patterns and textured finishes.

I keep on teaching these traditional techniques to my daughter and granddaughters.’
