Quest'ultima opera è stata quella che più mi ha colpito:
"SYAW (FISH NET)"
Renowned as a weaver of baskets, mats and fish nets, a radical style of painting has been forged by transposing the woven stitches of the fibre works onto large two dimensional canvases. This painting depicts the weave of a syaw, made by women of Peppimenarti to catch fish and small crayfish in the creeks and rivers surrounding the community. The pinbin (bush vine) grows near the river and is stripped into thinner fibres which are then made into the fish net.
The work plays with with the concept of weaving, introducing rhythmical patches with frayed edges that together form a complex composition replete with subtle variations and shifts of texture, loose strands and interwoven fragaments.
