LHARAGULA NGIDIDIN (CROCODILE TRAP)

Lharagula Ngididin (Crocodile Trap) is the first major collaborative work by Numburindi master weavers Rose Wilfred, Joy Wilfred, Megan Wilfred, Virginia Wilfred, Jangu Nundhirribala, Nicole Wilfred, Jocelyn Wilfred and May Wilfred.

An imagined object, a crocodile trap is not a traditional hunting tool, but like the use of ghost nets in weaving is something that these artists have thought of themselves. Would it outsmart and capture a crocodile? Tangle it in its netting? Disorient it in the strands of its tail? Maybe.

Lharagula Ngididin (Crocodile Trap) makes its debut at Brunswick Street Gallery, followed by Agency Gallery as part of the Craft Contemporary program.
