About the Author

Shirley Macnamara is a mid-career Indigenous artist whose sculptures made from spinifex grass are an expression of the western Queensland country where she lives and works. Macnamara has family connections throughout Spinifex Country, a region named for the hardy, stringy grass that covers its rich soil, and she distils her rich and complex life experiences into sculptures that are not only contemporary but also honour cultural resonances from the past.
