Ngilan has been creating beautiful baskets for many years and has formed a distinctive aesthetic of colourful stripes and a loose organic weaving style. She has pioneered the 'woven vessel' realm, developing her signature form which resembles the ancient Greek hydria. Ngilan dedicates herself to her woven art practice with immense passion and compulsion to make. A testimony to her enthusiasm for weaving was her request for a headtorch to allow her to continue making through the nights. A woman who (despite being confined to a wheelchair) has achieved so much through her hard work, artistic creativity and a unique passion for weaving.
