Facilitator Ronda Sharpe - Bio: I am a Wiradjuri environmental artist who responds creatively within a First Nations cultural context, focusing on Wiradjuri traditions, community, and Country. I am drawn to creating contemporary fibre artworks that represent a continuum of Wiradjuri cultural artefacts, Country, language and ‘Yindayamarra’ (respect) for Mother Earth. I use recycled data and electrical cables and natural grasses, transforming these mediums into sculptural forms that juxtapose modern and traditional weaving techniques. I have programmed and facilitated various interactive hands-on recycled weaving and recycled art workshop for adults and children that provides the opportunity to create eco-friendly woven and sustainable art projects. The workshops have been hosted for Gold Coast Council, Home of The Arts (HOTA), Gold Coast and Griffith, College of Arts and Griffith University Art Gallery, Art Gallery- Brisbane, Bathurst Regional Gallery, various schools and during our NAIDOC celebrations.
