Seeing the works of Australian artist Beth Hatton, I could not take my eyes off them, could not believe that the same scissors or guns could be created from dry grass. And for an Australian artist, this is not at all difficult, since she is familiar with many years of ancient secrets, and the technique of her work is based on the traditional practice of weaving from dry grass, which was still used by the aborigines.
Weaving amazing sculptures, Beth Hutton uses different types of herbs and linen thread to keep her herbal artwork together and not crumble. Since 2003, having studied the aboriginal weaving technique, she began to apply it to the creation of various products from dry grass. Her work is a vivid testament to the combination of modern skills and ancient practices.
After graduating from University in Canada, Beth Hutton worked in Europe for eight years. Traveling to Romania to explore family roots, she became acquainted with the traditions of this country, which aroused her interest in textiles made in the mountains, and she began to study weaving in London. After moving to Australia, she graduated from the College of Fine Arts in Sydney. The acquired qualifications help her to create miracles from the gifts of the natural world.
Bat Hutton's work has been on display throughout Australia and overseas (Japan, Germany, USA), has received numerous awards, including two grants from the Australian Council (1996, 2000), and is featured in major collections including the National Gallery of Australia.
