Flax,flotsam and fabric basket
$100.00
This tiny basket is made from beach finds in Skenes Creek during walks in 2020 when the lockdown first occurred. I have used the traditional eel basket technique to weave together the found objects in this basket which I learnt from my friend Judi who was shown the stitch by Aunty Browen Razem. Some of the core fabrics are also upcycled sari silks,hay and and fabric pieces from my stash .It’s called bobs basket as it’s perfect for storing bits and bobs.

Artist Bio
Lyndi’s arts practice includes a love of a wide range of mediums especially drawing, colour play and textile art forms. She loves poetry and the magic in nature all around her home on Gadubanud country in Skenes Creek amongst the tall Grey gums and close to her salty sea friends. She learnt to weave some of her techniques from Aunty Browen and others in training as a school textile teacher. She recognises the need to pay respect to all the wise elders who imparted their knowledge, stories and skills to her in her lifetime and the natural landscape from which she draws much inspiration. She meets weekly with other artists as a part of Studio Forrest a collaborative community arts project and is an active member of Apollo Bay Arts Inc.She has exhibited in various galleries and sold work in the last 6 Apollo Bay Art Shows.
