Featured Artist: Christine Holden

Award-winning local fibre artist, Christine Holden, has been creating unique hand-woven art works and public installations in the Gladstone region for several years, and is well known for her 2D and 3D fibre works made from a unique blend of marine debris and recycled materials found and foraged.

Her ‘ethical art’ reflects how important it is to look after our planet, and explores the possibilities of how something that most people see as rubbish can be turned into something of aesthetic beauty.

Christine experiments with fibres recycled from nature such as green waste, and reclaimed man-made materials including ghost netting, discarded fishing line and rope, and other plastic waste. These are gathered from local surroundings to create art pieces with an important environmental message.

Christine’s work will be seen within the Gladstone region, and on her Instagram page @ethical.art
