Artist Statement - Georgia Boseley

Scar Pots #2 represents the process of making coolamons and other objects from trees, a practice that leaves scars while allowing the tree to continue living. This method uses only parts of the tree, reflecting a sustainable way of living that stands in direct opposition to colonial logging practices.

To embody the tree’s ongoing healing and the reciprocal relationship between Country and People, the pots are woven together with pandanus using traditional weaving techniques.
