The Darwin Festival Program is launched and i am s

The Darwin Festival Program is launched and i am so happy to be included . After recent appearances at the South Australian Museum, Melbourne Zoo and as far afield as France, my jelly babies will return to their northern breeding grounds en masse for a colourful home-town appearance throughout Darwin Festival. My installation of 100 jellyfish, titled -Wish Upon A Jellyfish, invites you to take a moment with one of these luminous creations to weave a wish for a brighter future.. #wishuponajellyfish #ecoart #ecoartist #darwinfestival #oceanlover #oceanart #darwinartist #topendartist #publicart #australiancontemporaryart #basketryart #basketryartist #basketryaustralia 📸 @darrenclarkphotographer

Last year I was approached by french curator @geraldine_le_roux_ to ”reproduce one of the original drawings made by Lesueur who embarked with Baudin on an historical expedition” for the exhibition AUSTRALIA - HAVRE: The Intimacy of a Link (1801-2021).
From June 5 to November 7, the Museum celebrates Australia through the arts and science. 220 drawings by Charles-Alexandre Lesueur and Nicolas-Martin Petit from the Bonaparte expedition are presented alongside Australian heritage objects and contemporary ghost net creations at the Museum of Natural History of Havre in France . I responded by making a series of green jellyfish woven from fishingline along with ghost net rope i found on a beach clean up with artist Maicie Lalara on her grandfathers Country on Anindilyakwa Lands on Groote Eylandt. Maicie’s work also features in the show along with amazing ghost net works by some spectacular artists including @sueryanart and @erubarts . Congratulations and thanks to all involved. I love Perons description of the jellyfish he encountered on the voyage “This Autralian jellyfish is with long and multiplied tentacles that garnish the margin of its umbrella that the animal seeks for the prey it will feed on .It’s tentacles wrap around it like an inextricable net amd it swallows up it’s victim, so to speak, the suckers (its lips) are applied around the poor animal that is promptly ingurgitated”. (Manuscript inv. 68 328Cv, Le Havre, Museum of Natural History). #wishuponajellyfish #ecoartist #ecoart #lehavre #fibreart #fibrearts #fiberart #fibreartistsofinstagram #fiberarts #ghostnetart #oceanlover #oceanart #jellyfish #artmeetsscience #france #australia

It’s World Ocean Day so i thought this might be the perfect time to introduce you to Lady Fish-Weaver of the Tides. Handwoven from recycled fishing-line, retrieved ghost net ,salvaged sari silk and a repurposed barbie doll, she is far away from her watery home for the Alice Springs @beaniefestival . The theme for this years event i is Yarning Myths and Legends Celebrating 25 years of the Alice Springs Beanie Festival. An amazing festival and i will also be teaching workshops @central_craft_alice_springs . #ecoartist #mermaids #alicesprings #fibreart #fibreartist #jellyfish #beanie #beaniefestival2021 #handmade #recycledart #fibreartistsofinstagram
