Episode 2: Hayley Pigram
In episode 2 of season 8, I chat with Hayley Pigram, urban Aboriginal artist represented by the Boomalli Aboriginal Artists Co-operative. Hayley handmade each unique artwork, made from lights, which have been integrated into the up-cycled fashion collection featured in the Vivid event, Fashion’s Flash: Back to the Future. While Hayley’s use of bright colours and desire to work with unusual art mediums naturally align her to this project, it’s her story of being a modern woman with an ancient heritage that has been the most poignant point of connectivity. Hayley’s sustainable fashion choices may often be practical in nature, however it’s her style to artfully push boundaries and challenge ideas for both herself and others. And it’s this desire for continuous development that sees Hayley’s confidence rise in the demonstration of her style and the telling of her story.
