JamFactory ICON Aunty Ellen Trevorrow Weaving Through Time

JamFactory ICON Aunty Ellen Trevorrow: Weaving Through Time showcases predominantly new works by Aunty Ellen, produced with her long-time collaborator, Dr Jelina Haines. Curated by Ngarrindjeri, Kaurna, Narrunga woman Carly Tarkari Dodd, the exhibition visually and textually documents Aunty Ellen’s evolution as an artist, from her early traditional baskets and fish traps to her recent wearable works, including dresses, jewellery and textiles. These more recent works highlight her two-decades-long collaboration with Dr Haines and demonstrate the depth and breadth of her artistic practice.
