Janet De Boer from the USA/Australia,
Editor of Textile Fibre Forum Magazine
Showing slides of works by Inga Hunter, one of

Creator of the Robes of “Imperium” series
PLUS slides of origins of Australian wearable arts,
Some with aboriginal influence
Location:Â Â Kukui Grove Center Exhibition Space
Contact:
  Mizu <
hawaiigourd@yahoo.com>, 337-1001
Â
Regarding a paragraph on the content of the talk:
“Inga Hunter, whose ability to transform materials has beenÂ
inspirational for over 30 years in Australia, is perhapsÂ
best known for her mythical kingdoms, created for herÂ
Robes of the Imperium series. She carefully constructsÂ
what are described as miniature robes of the office bearersÂ
and significant personalities of the ruling classes,Â
water and forest people and the shamans. Each is highlyÂ
detailed and evocative; artifacts have also been created.Â
Anyone who works in jewellery, paper, ceramics,Â
texiles or mixed media will be impressed and informed.Â
So detailed are the pieces that when Inga chooses a subjectÂ
for a drawing or painting, she often turns to her own work”
