Katie West is a Yindjibarndi woman and artist who uses native plant material to dye fabric and create other art.
She is currently living on Wurundjeri country in Melbourne where she walks along the Yarra River collecting fallen plant material.
Katie explains the bundle dyeing technique that she uses, laying the plant material onto organic fabrics, mostly calico and silk, and rolling it up tightly. During ‘muhlu’ - the cool season - the rolled fabric is boiled in water.
In the hot ‘garwarrn’ season, when it is too hot to have a fire, the bundles are placed in glass jars of water and left in a sunny spot for solar dyeing.
The process of collecting is meditative as well as helping her become familiar with the plants, birds and animals around her.
Katie shared these skills when she was invited to her mother’s country in Roebourne, north-west WA, through the Nyinart Yinda artist-in-residence program, and in turn learns to use local plant species from this area.

I do this type of dying too. The idea that we are infusing our surroundings into the cloth really resonates. 💕💕💕

Did you use any mordant prior to rolling and putting it in the pot?
Thank you! I also learned from Margaret Byrd on RUclips and others experimenting with dying as well.
Good t o learn our Australian Dying.
I believe the aboriginal should have the other alternative dying methods. So where were those old painting color pastel coming from? Must be used for fabric coloring agents.
I wish they actually showed the finished product for longer than a second or two. It's very frustrating.
