Janet Bromley

Janet Bromley is a Yorta Yorta artist whose weaving practice sits at the intersection of cultural knowledge, environmental awareness, and contemporary storytelling.

Her work is grounded in traditional Aboriginal methods of gathering and weaving yet reimagined through the use of non-traditional materials. Strips of fabric, fragments of plastic, wire, and organic fibres are layered and intertwined, creating textured surfaces that echo Country- its colours, rhythms, and histories.

Through these materials- many once used and discarded- she explores themes of displacement, resilience, and the ongoing impact of consumerism on both people and environment.

By reclaiming waste and reworking it through slow, deliberate processes, weavings becomes both an act of cultural continuation and a quiet form of environmental activism.
