PAULA SAVAGE - Moa Arts | 'Wapudth on the ground 1' | Monoprint on BFK Rives paper

"Red cotton tree wapudth on the ground being ready too fall down on the ground from back burning and there can be big pieces laying on the ground chopped and diced with the red flower flying in the air which indicates that dry season is nearly here." - Paula Savage 

PAULA SAVAGE is from the Dabugal clan of Moa Island and the Kaurareg clan of Muralag (Prince of Wales Island). An artist at the Ngalmun Lagau Minaral Art Centre - Moa Arts, Paula works across weaving, printmaking, and jewellery to share contemporary expressions of Torres Strait Islander culture and ancestral stories. Her practice has developed into the making of unique woven bags that bring together land and water relationships through color, techniques, and materials.
