Michaela Olijnyk is a textiles maker and photographer living on Wurundjeri Country. She has a background in community cultural development, with a focus on the use of photography as an exploration of identity.
Her journey of exploration of all things textiles has connected her more fully to her cultural roots and ancestors. Dyeing with plants enriches her relationship with the earth. Michaela is endlessly fascinated by the magic, wonder and science of indigo – watching the transformation happen before her eyes as the oxygen in the air hits the textile and transforms from chlorophyl green to the unique indigo blue.
