Dianne Tchumut is a Marrithiel woman from the Litchfield and Reynolds area of the Northern Territory. Dianne's artworks are typically very detailed and use a neutral or monochromatic colour palette. Her pieces cover a range of subject matter with a focus on the textures of her country and traditional cultural techniques such as weaving and foraged textiles used to make objects. This piece depicts the intricate weaving patterns that were used by her ancestors to create woven mats, baskets, fishnets and fish traps. Traditionally, these items would be used in everyday life to catch fish, carry foraged bush foods or to create shelter.
