Worked in a sombre palette of grey, black and dark green, Alison Wel's textile work references the way in which the people of her remote village in the mountains of Simbu Province in Papua New Guinea are denigrated by neighbouring tribes. Knotted across the top of the piece is its title, ‘BACK PAGE’, a slang term used in and around the township of Kundiawa to describe the remoteness of Wel's village, and, by extension, the supposed ‘backwardness’ of its inhabitants.
