A beautiful day

This basket is about gathering your family and going out to day spend on nearby islands. As the sun shines brightly in a clear blue sky, casting warm glow over everything it touches. The world seems to come alive, bathed in golden light that brings out the colours of nature in all their vibrant glory. The air is crisp and clean, carrying with it a hing of freshness that energisers the senses. 

Art Centre notes:  The basket is made of natural raffia / shells. 

The dyes are commercial and colour fast. it uses 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.
