About
Over the last 18 months, FORM Gallery has supported artists from Spinifex Hill Studio and Yinjaa-Barni Art in expanding their celebrated painting practices to express stories of culture and country through new mediums.
Woven Together is the result of Spinifex Hill Studio hosting textiles practitioners in a series of residencies sharing weaving techniques. As part of FORM's Roebourne Arts Development Program, artists from Yinjaa-Barni Art have been mentored in ceramics by porcelain master Sandra Black, the outcomes of which can be seen in Mara, Jinbi, Ngurra (Hands, Clay, Country).
