yuta badayala


I was reading the latest green mag and saw a fantastic new light from Koskela. The yuta badayaka is a collaboration between Koskela and Echo Island Arts. The weavers involved in the project include Mavis Warrngilna Ganambarr, Roslyn Malngumba, Margaret Bambalara and Julienne Gitjpulu, using traditional techniques of pandanus and bush string weaving.

It is great to see an Australian company seeking positive, creative partnerships with indigenous artists, promoting traditional techniques translated into a contemporary object such as this unique light.
