Werekata 2

A piece of rusty metal dumped in a National Park was the inspiration for a series addressing notions of recycling, respect for the natural environment, and making do. Staining and dyeing the silk cloth with rust and plant dyes and hand stitching, all slow, repetitive, and meditative processes, act as a metaphor for the ancient Australian landscape which has been shaped by the elements and marked by the passage of time.
