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.
