Here’s a little project I did a little collabora

Here’s a little project I did a little collaboration with in the city. I had the privilege of working with a group of kindy kids at Little Scholars to paint a traffic light box outside the Brisbane magistrates court in the cbd. To be honest the kids stole the show with many admirers stopping to watch them in full swing of colour and brushwork. Love these sorts of projects, as watching kids in motion can teach us so much and keeps you grounded. Thank you little scholars for having me. Next time your in the city keep your eye out for the explosion of colour on the corner of Turbot and George st. ✌🏽

So here we go...AGAIN! 2 years in a row I’ve been selected as a finalist for the Telstra Natsiaa Art Awards. Happy to be doing it this year with fellow classmate and friend @kyramancktelow with her beautiful work ‘Moongalba’ and @leeceecarmichael with a work I haven’t seen yet, but I’m sure it will be an amazing weaved sculpture of some kind. I’ll post my entry up later. ✌🏽

FINISHED! What a massive and self rewarding project. This fish sculpture measuring at 2.4m long, is a piece that ties my love of the sea and fishing with traditional net making practice and how a culture can continue to survive and revive around ones identity. To accomplish this I had to learn something new by research and practice. Ive definitely learnt patience and the art of quiet reflection. This piece will be on display at @brgbundaberg in an upcoming exhibition at the gallery and then on display at my graduation show in October at @griffithuniversity
Big thanks to @sammy_hitzke_fishing for keeping me motivated on a Sunday afternoon. 👌🏽

When I run out of cord I need to stain more. Soaking and rubbing ochre into the fibres is what gives the natural material it’s rich earthy red colour. Waiting for it to dry might take a while. 🥱

And now to weave. The practice of traditional weaving wasn’t just the role of women. Men had a huge part in this practice as well. They would construct nets, traps and other useful items for carrying loads. This part of the project is to teach myself how to weave so I can perfect it for the next part of the project.

Still working with the cotton tree, a branch is stripped and split to hand carve a set of needles. Ocher is used to stain and buff the ends to give it a nice polished feel.
