HIDDEN 2023: Muru Award

Congratulations Virginia Keft, winning HIDDEN 2023 Muru Award
“I’m a Saltwater Freshwater Dharug Woman, so Virginia Keft's beautiful woven bats are really special for my people and significant to my mob: flying foxes are a very strong male totem. We can actually see so many of our family's personalities in these little fellas. I really love this piece, I love the colours, the work itself, the stitching and the weave. The colours - well, that's Dharug mob - we're all different shades and different colours, and we all have our uniqueness. Yet we're all combined and one. Congratulations, Virginia Keft, and thank you for entering HIDDEN with this beautiful work, we're so privileged to host it on our Country.” - Julie Clarke-Jones, judge.
