No 3 Reef II
There are three reefs off the coast of Lag Mua. The first, and closest, is Dollar Reef. It is the deeper one and most of the food comes from this one. Crayfish, fish, dugong, turtle and clams. The second and third reefs are further out and sit up higher. In the old times we went fishing and collecting in canoes, and carried seafood in baskets. Now we got dinghys and outboards and eskies. These baskets are more about sea life; the coral and sponges under the water.
Art Centre notes:
The basket is made of natural raffia / cotton / jute / sea chord.
It is made using a traditional ‘one twist’ method. The basket sits on a woven base with tassles 40 to 90cm
The dyes are commercial and colour fast.
Size of bowl: 35 x 47cm
