HER Network collection
is a textile-based exploration of belonging, connection and the unseen energetic architectures that shape our relationships with self, others and the world around us.
My curiosity had already been guiding me toward blending the medicinal, life-giving spirit of the land with the vibrational qualities of wool.
Through intuitive weaving, knots and rhythmic patterning, the works reflect the intricate systems we navigate—familial lines, cultural expectations, inner landscapes, and the web of community. They speak to the human longing for connection while acknowledging the ways we fracture ourselves to “fit in.”
In shamanic understanding, belonging is not something granted externally; it is an energetic state of coherence. A remembering of our place within the wider ecology of life.
As the Networks collection unfolded, my understanding of connection deepened in ways I could never have anticipated.
During my time in Northeast Arnhem Land, I learned about bush medicine from Yolŋu elder, artist and educator Djapirri Mununggirritj, who welcomed me with extraordinary generosity and adopted me into her kinship system.
Djapirri recognised this instinct immediately- long before I had the language for it. She introduced me to Country, encouraged me to walk with the ancestors, and taught me how to work with local plants as natural dyes.
Through her guidance, I began collaborating with nature in a new, embodied way. She truly saw what I was trying to create- artwork that carries both energetic resonance and the memory of place. Her recognition was profound; it offered me my first real experience of artistic and spiritual belonging.
This lineage of wisdom, relationship, and deep listening now pulses through Her Networks collection. Each piece is a woven conversation between land, fibre, and spirit—an offering shaped by the medicine of Country and the honour of being invited to walk alongside it.
Djapirri is co-founder of Gimiyala, an authentic brand of natural bush medicine that holds a potent ancestral medicine made from local plants in Northeast Arnhem Land.
These vibrational artworks embody remembering. They honour the invisible ties between land, body, spirit, and story.
Networks invites the viewer to pause, to feel, and to witness their own relationship with belonging—its tenderness, its complexity, and its capacity to transform. Each piece is both map and medicine: a reminder that we are always part of something larger, and that the threads of our lives are continually weaving us home.
