Aly De Groot

Aly is the recipient of a Post Graduate Scholarship and is undertaking a PhD at Charles Darwin University, focusing on environmental and social issues in regards to fibre art and basketry. Aly uses found and discarded materials such as fishing lines and nets, to create baskets of precise detail fuelled with meanings that are in fact dysfunctional utilitarian objects. Their purpose is to establish a creative avenue for people to be environmentally responsible.
