Brooke Munro

Brooke is a Southern Highlands Sculptural Textiles Artist raised in Burrawang NSW. She studied a Bachelor of Creative Arts at Wollongong University where she was under the tuition of textiles artist Virginia Kaiser. 

She currently runs a small creative business with her husband called ‘Mr and Mrs Munro’ which has been featured in national publications including Country Style, Home Beautiful and Belle Magazine. Brooke draws inspiration from nature, femininity and traditional craft. 

Her sculptural forms feature traditional basketry techniques such as weaving, netting, coiling and twining, but with an emphasis on more extreme texture and form. 

This series of work has been created by reaction, using rhythm and pattern to let undefined ideas and forms unfurl.

Formed using atypical materials and found objects, this work was made within the ‘in-between’ place that we have lived and existed in over recent times. 

Constructed with traditional techniques that were once used to create utilitarian objects, these pieces are reminiscent of vessels and nets. Catching, containing and carrying response.

Each stitch, knot and weave made while unconscious to a final result but letting process and memory create the nebulous forms.
