Down at the beach

I love going down to the beach it’s a magical place where the sky meets the sea, and the sand stretches out in all directions as far as the eye can see. It’s a place where worries melt away with the crashing waves and salty breeze, where the sun kisses your skin and the seagulls sing their melodies tunes.

Art Centre notes:

The basket is made of natural raffia / shells, dyes are commercial and colour fast, using a traditional over and under weaving technique.

Biography:

My name is Fiona Mosby; I am a senior artist and Torres Strait Islander woman and I believe in the importance and value for me as a young woman pertains to the values, beliefs and unique identity that what we share, carry and can impact in the lives of our family, community and who we are as individuals. My speciality major is in printmaking: in monoprints, linocut, etching, and screen-printing. I have also explored and practiced weaving techniques from a young age with my grandmother, which I retell in my art.

As well through my employment working at Moa Arts, I have learnt many other invaluable techniques and skills. As a young passionate woman, I am dedicated and committed to being a role model for the younger generations, to use what knowledge I have about culture and tradition to make an impact, to tell the story of an island woman in preserving and embracing our cultural rights. Art is my tool to visually communicate my personal values and beliefs.
