Information
This basket was woven over 3 months between NSW and QLD working with the Bangalow Palm (NSW) and the Picabeen Palm (QLD). It was started at the annual Weave & Mend festival on Bundjalung Country (Nimbin), a community where I lived for several years. It was completed on Bullongin Country (Pimpama). It tells the story of how these two communities and the plants that grow on them have shaped me as a person and as a weaver. The colour variations demonstrate how the same plants growing in different locations change over time, much like people who can thrive in some environments but struggle in others.
