Here's the first post from our 2007 Mentorship recipient Julie Munro-Allison, now over in Western Australia working with renowned fibre artist Kate Campbell-Pope. As you can see, she's certainly been busy.
Kate gave me a milk crate filled with dry plant material and some string she and the other artists made for the environmental arts workshop the weekend I arrived in Albany. I had a go at making string myself and also made a small sculpture in order to familarise myself more with working directly with plant materials. Then in the studio Kate showed me techniques for making the strongest string I've been walking around the granite hills, picking things up. Latticed watsonia cases and watsonia discs, mostly, and bones, but today I found a whole frog, flattened and mummified.
