Sculptural Woven and Fibre Art Rooted in Culture, Memory, and Modern Innovation
Jelina Haines is an interdisciplinary fiber artist whose work merges sculptural wearable art, contemporary weaving, and surface design with deep cultural story work. Since 1998, her art has been a place of healing, resilience, and connection is shaped by her migration journey, her Philippine heritage, and the powerful landscapes of Australia.
Her practice blends theory, textile innovation, and traditional arts to create sculptural pieces that challenge modern ideas about sustainability, gender equality, women’s rights, and cross‑cultural understanding. Every artwork is from contemporary weaving accessories to wet‑felted wearable sculptures is crafted with intention, using sustainable and recyclable materials to honour both land and culture.

These works are not just garments or objects; they are living narratives shaped through patience, experimentation, and the natural behaviour of wool, fiber, and recycled materials. Her creations invite viewers into a world where art becomes a vessel for healing, empowerment, and environmental consciousness.
