The artist celebrates her ancient culture through her weaving practice and pays tribute to her ancestors in these earrings, this maintains connections to the past, present and the future. Merrepen is a fibre from the Cabbage Palm. There is a lengthy process of gathering the palm fronds, stripping the leaves to reveal the fibre. The roots of Pognolobus reticulatus are ground to make a yellow-orange dye. The dyes are gathered on country, ground, dried, and then boiled until the colour is released. The Merrepen fibres are added, and simmered until the rich colours appear. After drying, they are painstakingly sorted and crafted into this beautiful design.
