As an Aboriginal (Arrernte) artist I seek to invoke

the organic ‘weaves’ and forms of traditional woven

objects such as eel traps, fish traps and dillibags in my

hot blown glass works, and pay tribute to the survival

of the oldest living weaving practices in the world. My

intention is to appropriate the contemporary medium

of glass to become a vehicle for cultural expression.
