Beached Buoys
Living on Groote Eylandt for 14 years had a big impact on my art and creations. Working as a Ranger and seeing what the currents brought in with the tide, ghost net, rope, glass bottles, floats, seaglass, coral and shells. Whilst cleaning up beaches I found more items went home with me than to the dump. The elders taught me all the traditional ways including pandanus weaving, mixing ochres etc. and I ended up opening the first art centre on Groote called Anindilyakwa Art. For the past 5 years I have lived on a boat and travelled from Qld to NT collecting lots of items along the way. I like to experiment with anything creative including printing, weaving, painting, resining, mosaicing, in fact will give anything a go once.
