Abstract:
"A survey of a unique cross-cultural creative practice that has existed in the West of Australia since the early 1980s. A women's art movement centred around the application of native fibres and dyes in the creation of craft work, this unique practice
bridges indigenous and non-indigenous cultures, urban and rural experiences, traditional craft practice and contemporary interpretation." - back cover.
