About Me

aly de groot: I am an Australian Visual artist of Dutch descent, influenced by the diversity of cultures and the intensity of climate and landscape in Northern Australia. Since 1994, I have been adopting and adapting basket-making techniques learnt from Indigenous, non-indigenous and international basket makers and fibre artists to weave multiple layered stories to create woven sculpture, installation and baskets which are often ‘witty, gawky and elegant at once’ (Ooms, Australian Art Collector, 2005). I regularly exhibit throughout Australia as well as facilitate contemporary fibre art workshops nationally and within remote Indigenous communities. I value the inspiration and knowledge gained and exchanged through formulating ideas and projects that can inspire and educate using readily available materials that may other wise be a pest or environmental threat.
