About the Artist
My name is Jasmine-Skye Marinos, I am a proud Arrernte woman and living on Wadawurrung Country.

I am a textile artist, I love to sew, weave, crochet and create handmade items, however I do dabble in other mediums like painting and graphic art.

My passion is to share traditions and stories, passing it onto our future generation. I enjoy community projects and strengthening culture through arts and craft.

About the Artwork
This Emu Feather Dress is hand woven with natural raffia and hand gathered emu feathers. I designed this dress for ‘We the Makers: Sustainable Fashion Prize 2023’ and was a top 20 finalist.

Included with the dress is a hand woven emu feather necklace, dilly bag and handmade spotted red gum clap sticks.

I designed this outfit using only traditional techniques, to pay respect to my Ancestors that lived off the land for thousands of years.
