Outstation: Gamardi
Community: Maningrida

Kylie Pascoe is an early career artist who weaves from her home at Gamardi Outstation, about 100kms out of Maningrida, Central Arnhem Land. Kylie learnt to weave in the same way most teenage girls learn, by watching the old people and eventually trying herself.  

“I learn a lot by myself, lots of watching the old people”

Kylie prefers to weave sculptural pieces, focussing primarily on stingray and fish with bright natural colours, typical of contemporary pandanus weavings. Kylie weaves alongside her family, demonstrating her skill to the young children in her outstation. She enjoys weaving and says it’s a good way to pass the time on the weekends.
