Katie West is a Yindjibarndi woman based in Noongar Ballardong country (York, Western Australia), working across installation, social practice, and textiles.
In this workshop, Katie introduces hand-twisted string making with repurposed fabric inspired by traditional techniques that utilise plant fibre. Katie explains, 'I use fabric collected from op-shops as this is a resource readily available to me. I see it as a way to continue a kind of string making in our family, despite separation from our traditional home through Stolen Generations policy.'
Presented in conjunction with Pliable Planes: Expanded Textiles & Fibre Practices at UNSW Galleries.
