Timeline
Koolmatrie work is influenced by Janet Watson's woven works monoplane (1942) and bi-plane (1942) in the South Australia Museum, Watson is an Australian indigenous woman who learn't weaving from her family.
Her works are included in many major galleries including the National Museum of Ethnology in Osaka, Japan; South Australian Museum; National Museum of Australia; Art Gallery of Western Australia; National Gallery of Victoria; and National Gallery of Australia.
Yvonne Koolmatrie (born 1944) is an Australian artist and weaver of the Ngarrindjeri people, working in South Australia.
Koolmatrie was born in Wudinna, Eyre Peninsula, South Australia.
Her father was a Kokatha man, Joseph Roberts, and her mother Margaret was a Ngarrindjeri / Ramindjeri woman from the Coorong.
Koolmatrie grew up in Meningie and the Coorong region, later moving to the Riverland town, Berri.
Koolmatrie learned her craft in the early 1980s from elder and weaver, Dorothy Kartinyeri.
Their coiled bundle technique uses local spiny-headed sedge (Cyperus gymnocaulos), known to the artist as bilbili and river rushes, and Koolmatrie is credited with saving the traditional Ngarrindjeri craft.
Koolmatrie is defiant in using her practice to dismantle the colonial myth that Ngarrindjeri culture and weaving practices are extinct.
Her work stands as a testimony that the practice is alive and continuing.
Her weavings include eel traps, turtles, mats, bowls and models of biplanes.
She was excited by the potential offered by woven sedge grass and this was seen, by Stephen Gilchrist as having "freed her imagination to breathe life into the fantastic woven articulations that are now her trademark".
Since 1993, it has awarded a Red Ochre Award.
It is presented to an outstanding Indigenous Australian (Aboriginal Australian or Torres Strait Islander) artist for lifetime achievement.
River Dreaming (2012) was previously acquired by the National Gallery of Australia in 2016.
The Australia Council for the Arts is the arts funding and advisory body for the Government of Australia.
In 2016 she was awarded the Red Ochre Award, peer-assessed recognition.
In 2017, Koolmatrie was represented in the third national Indigenous Art Triennial, Defying Empire, four of her woven works were included.
