Grace Reid is a Jirrbal woman of the Davidson area. Grace is a skilled weaver and maker of traditional objects, in particular the bagu with jiman (firemaker). Her immersion in traditional culture from childhood has meant that she has a wonderful sense of shape and form, which has extended into the creation of more contemporary objects in recent years.
