Moira Doropoulos
Moira’s work focuses on the small, ritual practices of human life that occur in many cultures all over the world, seeking to universalise experience in a time of contemporary nomadic culture. Cloth is used in the ritual binding of precious items and to preserve artefacts in times of transition and movement. The cloth itself may take on the memory of the places and events that surround it, remaining marked with the owner’s identity. Her work is heavy with tradition. Moira seeks to promote Western Australian textiles internationally through her work as an executive committee member of the Textile Exchange Project (TEP).
