Anne Jillett

As a textile artist, Jillett’s work responds to the unique global positioning of Far North Queensland. Influenced by the weaving techniques of Northern Australia and the Pacific Region, her work incorporates natural materials, found objects, and recycled man-made objects alongside thigh-spun yarn. Combining coiled basketry construction with textile techniques, the works present as sculptural forms referencing the coastal landscapes of the area. Jillett credits Maryanne Tokome for her knowledge in bilum making that has strongly influenced the development of this weaving technique.
