About the artist
Nancy Naawi
I was born on Thursday Island and grew up on Darnley Island. I have always been interested in making things. I have always crocheted and enjoyed sewing and handcrafts. Since joining the art centre, I have gained confidence in myself as an artist, and I want to do things that represent myself, my family and my surroundings from before time to these modern times that we live in. I enjoy weaving and making bags and three-dimensional forms from ghost nets.
