Woven Stories
14 feb. — 22 mar. 2025
Living and working extensively across the Goulburn region, Wiradjuri artist Jodie Munday holds an artistic practice that spans drawing, painting, printmaking, pottery, wood burning and weaving. Munday’s exhibition Woven Stories presents a vast collection of work inspired by significant people, places, and events in the artist’s life, expressed through meticulously woven objects. Culturally and technically influenced by her Aboriginal and Celtic heritage, Munday’s works feature a combination of native plants and fibre, including Lomandra and Flax, along with both natural and hand dyed raffia. The colours within each piece are reflective of the presence or place and personality of individuals who have been influential on the artist, her life, and her artistic practice.
Embedded with deep emotions and associations, each object represents at once many moments, and the vast lengths of time inherent in the material process of weaving. As vessels of memory, Munday’s works convey the importance of community in building the individual, with diverse experiences weaving together the stories of both the artist and viewer together in this space.
