For an award-winner, Simone Arnol is humble.
“It s really just giving back to the community,” she responds without hesitation when asked about receiving the gong.
The Gunggandji woman is dialling in from her Queensland home, on the western banks of the Cape York Peninsula. She says it’s an honour to get recognition for her work.
“To be able to do that in a way of keeping culture strong, and using fashion as a cultural tool to pass the knowledge on…. That, to me, is just priceless.”
The ghost net elements provided by Holroyd and Pormpuraaw, with Arnol s fashion design, saw the collaboration nab the Environmental Award.
