Torres Strait Artist Paula Savage Showcased in The Grass Tides at Onespace Gallery

IACA congratulates Moa Arts artist Paula Savage on her new exhibition The Grass Tides, now showing at onespace gallery.

Presented in the Main Gallery, the exhibition brings together a powerful selection of woven works and works on paper. It marks Savage’s second exhibition with onespace, following her 2022 presentation.

Growing up on Moa Island, Savage spent her early years working on lugger boats with her father and brothers. With little time to sit with the old Akas (Aunties), she taught herself the ‘one twist’ weaving method through close observation rather than direct instruction. This technique continues to anchor her practice today. These lived experiences form the foundation of her distinctive creative voice.

The Grass Tides showcases a suite of prints and weavings that highlight Savage’s evolution as a senior artist at Moa Arts and affirm her standing as a leading creative force in the Torres Strait.

IACA is proud to celebrate her achievements and the strength of Moa Arts’ cultural and artistic leadership.

Make a Difference. Support IACA's Capacity Building Programs. Across Far North Queensland and the Torres Strait, more than 400 Indigenous artists are creating, working, and sustaining culture through their community art centres. When you give to IACA, you stand with these artists — and with the art centres that sustain them. These are places where culture is lived and shared, where knowledge flows between generations, and where livelihoods are built on Country. Thriving art centres mean thriving communities. They are hubs of cultural strength, economic opportunity, and community connection. Your donation supports IACA’s work alongside its member art centres through co-designed programs that build real skills and create genuine employment pathways for First Nations artworkers. Your gift helps fund: • Training programs developed with and for art centres • Creative fellowships for artists • Travel for artworkers to access training and mentorship • Learning resources, expertise, and tools that strengthen capacity across the network IACA partners with community-led art centres where artists and their communities are shaping their own futures — culturally, socially, and economically.
