ABOUT THE ARTWORK:

This artwork depicts Marebu, woven pandanus mats, which Deborah often weaves for the Maningrida Arts and Culture Centre, the sister Art Centre to Bábbarra Women’s Centre in Maningrida.

When creating mats, artists commonly use a mix of naturally dyed and undyed fibre to create a striking variation of coloured bands. Some artists also incorporate different techniques of looping and plaiting to produce various patterns and textured finishes.
