Two Dilly Bags, 2021
$365.00
The tribes living in this area have a remarkable history of weaving.
Finest quality dilly bags were traditionally woven, and used extensively to carry collected bush food.
A dilly bag can take several weeks to weave. Cabbage Palm is collected, stripped and dyed using a natural dye made by scraping a particular tree root and boiling this fibrous product in water.
I no longer weave dilly bags because of how long it takes. Instead I am celebrating them by making this etching.
