Mawungumain Nundhirribala Nunggubuyu, b. 1933

Mawungumain weaves her colourful coils from abandoned fishing lines, known as ghost nets, that wash up on Numbulwar’s shores.

 

Ghost nets account for about 40% of all ocean plastic. Numbulwar baskets divert this plastic away from the oceans, keeping nets clear of vulnerable sea life.
