JamFactory ICON Aunty Ellen Trevorrow: Weaving Through Time
JamFactory's ICON series celebrates the achievements of South Australia's most influential visual artists working in craft-based media.
Aunty Ellen Trevorrow is a proud Ngarrindjeri woman and a prolific, internationally acclaimed weaver with over 40 years of weaving experience. Weaving through Time is a celebration of Aunty Ellen's unwavering dedication to culture, community and innovation in contemporary Ngarrindjeri weaving.
Curated by Kaurna, Narrunga, Ngarrindjeri woman Carly Tarkari Dodd, Weaving Through Time showcases predominantly new works by Aunty Ellen, produced with her long-time collaborator, Dr Jelina Haines. The exhibition visually and textually documents Aunty Ellen's evolution as an artist, from her early traditional baskets and fish traps to her recent large-scale sculptures and wearable works, including dresses, jewellery and textiles. These more recent works highlight her two-decades-long collaboration with Dr Haines and demonstrate the depth and breadth of her artistic practice.
In Weaving Through Time, Aunty Ellen carries tens of thousands of years of knowledge, passed down from her Elders. Her work continues an essential legacy: the transmission of culture to future generations, ensuring the continuation of culture.
JamFactory ICON Aunty Ellen Trevorrow: Weaving Through Time is a JamFactory touring exhibition assisted by the Australian Government through Creative Australia, its arts funding and advisory board.
