I am currently travelling Europe and the UK as a recipient of a Churchill Fellowship to investigate endangered basketry and avenues being taken to preserve knowledge. Last weekend I attended the 5th International Wicker and Weaving Festival in Poznan, Poland which was an incredible opportunity to meet international basket weavers.

As artist’s in residence in Jakarta, Maicie Lalalra, Annabel  Amagula and I met with two wonderful artists from Jakarta,  Tita Salina and her partner Irwan Ahmett . Tita Salina’s  work,  1001st island – the most sustainable island in archipelago 2015 explores issues of community disenfranchisement, and environmental pollution.

As a recipient of a Melbourne University Asialink Grant, I was fortunate to have the opportunity to be a resident artist at Kominatus Salihara in Jakarta.
