Abstract

FORM is an independent, not for profit organisation dedicated to advocating for and developing creativity in Western Australia.

CULTURAL STRANDS PUBLICATION

Inspired by the acclaimed touring exhibition Woven Forms: Contemporary basket making in Australia, Cultural Strands is a publication that links together 16 essays from Aboriginal and non-Aboriginal practitioners, curators and academics and investigates the warp and weft of Australian fibre arts. Techniques, culture, environment, commercial markets and sustainability are explored.

Researched and developed by Carly Davenport Acker, Cultural Strands/Woven Visions facilitated a national body of practitioners and educators for a two day public program. Renowned fibre artist and living legend Nalda Searles guided the program. Woven Visions celebrated the opening of Object’s touring exhibition Woven Forms: Contemporary basket making in Australia and mapped the current developments and past, present and future directions of the fibre arts sector.
