I am from the Meuram tribe and my totems are Gainau and Nam. I have always enjoyed making things with my hands and have always crocheted and sewed, I want to make things that represent myself, my family and surroundings. I am presently enjoying weaving and making ghost net bags.

I am from the Saisarem tribe and my totems are Tabo and Karr. When I was younger I had many family commitments but now I can enjoy coming together with other women to make things. We share stories, experiences and learn and make things together.

Ellarose Savage
My tribe is Meuram and my totem is Nam. I enjoy expressing my relationship to the sea and the link between people's surroundings, objects and our culture. I love the beauty of our environment and as a small girl my father taught me many things. Often my work revolves around the stories from my father and the things he taught me as a child.
