About this work

Juno – Reclaiming beautiful Juno was created in response to the labelling of woven objects in museums. When reviewing the collection at Pitt Rivers Musuem, Oxford, Carmichael found an old Pitt Rivers Museum label, which read; ‘Coiled basket in buttonhole stitch. Made by King Sambo’s Gin, Juno. She was so called because she was so very ugly. These are not their native names’. A traditional flat woven bag, Juno – Reclaiming beautiful Juno depicts the evolution of cultural practices that remain linked to ancestral forms. Carmichael has used ungaire, a reed that grows in shades of pink and green in rugged, swampy areas on Minjerribah (North Stradbroke Island).
