“My works are about identity and place relating to elements water and earth. Water properties cleansing, rebirth, sustainability and the feeling of being immersed – and earth because of the plants I collect, walking around, touching and being grounded in Place (any place)”
Kay
Kay is a multidisciplinary Kamilaroi artist working with a range of mediums including printmaking on textiles and paper, traditional weaving and painting.
In “Fragments of Memory” she’s gathered beloved silk fragments to create a tapestry of colours and textures on various silks and wool.
Her love of water is illustrated in the process of steeping cloth in tannin enriched liquid to create an array of colours, shapes and designs.

“There’s magic in gathering in nature to create. No matter where you come from in the world, we all have ancestors who sat together under the trees and wove baskets, and this is something that connects us to them and to each other
In this space we begin to remember, and it feels so right” Lilly Clegg
