Abe Muriata is a traditional basket maker from the Murray Upper area, between Cardwell and Tully. He talks about how he learnt how to make the baskets, by looking at old examples at a museum. The process of making each basket is very time-consuming. Abe shows one particular basket that took him two months to complete. This is a Storylines Q150 digital story. This digital story was made by the State Library of Queensland with funding from the Queensland Government.  It is a legacy of the Q150 celebrations in 2009.

  • I love your artwork!

  • Such a talented man, I agree he should be able to pass this talent on so that this beautiful technique is not lost. Wish I was able to produce something like this.

  • Lovely little film...so important Abe's work, should be his main work - Artist in residence somewhere maybe?

  • What a delightful man Abe is. Beautiful video. I'd love to be able to make traditional baskets like this.
