Frewa Bardaluna
Biography
Frewa Bardaluna was an established traditional Kuninjku weaver. She sadly passed away in 2019, her artistic legacy lives on through her daughters who are continuing weaving 2D fibre art and other woven forms.
Her use of colour with a soft tonal range and intricate patterns put her at the forefront of the contemporary fibre sculpture movement.
