Esteemed Yolngu fibre artists working at Bula’bula Arts, Ramingining in the Northern Territory of Australia, have collaborated with the Alvaro Catalán de Ocón Design Studio from Madrid de produce this spectacular chandelier installation. Alvaro Catalán de Ocón, desirous of bringing awareness to the global dilemma of plastic waste, began a project combining the utilization of PET Lamps and textile traditions from around the world. This installation combines traditional Yolngu mats woven from collected, processed and dyed pandanus and repurposed PET (Polyethylene terephthalate), or plastic, bottles as a light source. A most beautiful exploration into design and purpose while creating a source of income for indigenous communities. This commission by the National Gallery of Victoria is part of the NGV’s Triennial currently showing through until the 15th of April. #ngv #ngvtriennial #yolngu #weaving #environmentalart #bulabulaarts #studioalvarocatalandeocon #aboriginalart #chandelier #lights #recycledart #fibreart #traditionalweaving
