Artist Statement

This piece resulted from a Flying Arts Workshop by Glennis Mann in Atherton. This work was included in an exhibition/competition in Malanda in 2001when the Federation Tapestry was unveiled. I couldn’t believe my eyes in 2005 when visiting the northern tip of Borneo when I saw Sea Gypsies actually selling seashells by the seas shore!
