I think I still hear the sky vibrating…
2015
Reused wool blankets and silk cloth, eco-dyes sourced from plants
and trees in the Narrandera Common and the Riverina including a combination of
leaves, bark, flowers and pods from iron bark, eucalyptus, river red gum, wattle,
lilli pilli, karrajong and cypress trees, as well as mistletoe and red and
brown onion skins.
I think I still
hear the sky vibrating… brings together a collection of twenty-five cloths
created through a series of eco-dyeing workshops in the Narrandera Common and
Train Station. Each piece of cloth
becomes a record of this place and its community. The dyed and resisted marks
on the cloth bear witness to our gatherings, offering a memory of the
conversations, laughter and ideas exchanged.
The work was created by many hands and hearts and across a number of
generations (from 4 to 90 year olds!).
It is a reminder of the importance of collaboration, coming and being together,
as artists, makers and as a community.
