Loop Weave Dilibags (Set of 2)
Hot blown glass with canes
27 H x 23.5 W x 8 D cm
These dilibags are inspired by traditional Aboriginal woven loop weave dilibags from North-East Arnhemland. I have experimented with various opaque and translucent colours to invoke traditional grasses and pandanus, as well as techniques to evoke the beauty of traditional weaves and forms.
