Olisi
The initial project that coincided with my journey into FMA. All designs are inspired by indigenous Filipino culture each telling a story of history, people, and country. The olisi are made of a hard Tasmanian oak wood or a Filipino rattan vine. Designs are burned onto the olisi using a pyrography tool, dried with the option to varnish. They are all individually handmade in Melbourne Australia and can take up to 1-4 weeks to complete. Take a look behind selected works, their meanings, and the journey in personalising olisi designs.
