Aly de Groot celebrates the people, creatures and places encountered as a north Australian contemporary fibre artist. Her diverse creative practice includes a thorough investigation into the use of recycled and plant materials, taking contemporary fibre arts practice to strange and unexpected places. The spirit of her woven objects are also captured as 2-dimensional works, using alternative cyanotype photographic processes (sun-printing) along with plant pigments to make reflections of top-end land and seascapes. Her woven forms have been immortalised in bronze as a series of large-scale bronze public works across Darwin’s iconic coastal locations. She generously shares her creative passions in workshops and presentations in schools, universities, festivals, galleries and remote Indigenous communities throughout Australia.
