KNOWN is a series of publications that celebrates contemporary Indigenous Australian artists and fosters cross-cultural dialogue between Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander artists and writers, amplifying First Nations voices and strengthening cultural knowledge, language and artistic engagement. This volume features the sisters Sonja and Elisa Jane Carmichael, whose work is informed by their family's spiritual and cultural connections to the land and seas of Quandamooka Country in Queensland. Sonja works in fibre basketry and woven sculpture and focuses on regenerating traditional weaving techniques, while Elisa Jane, known as Leecee, works across painting, textiles and weaving; together their collaborations extend into image-making, using cyanotypes to share stories connected to family and Country. The cover is a blue cyanotype of a winding line, a net-like shape and ferns.
