My Song Dress

Lizzie Trew is a young Pitjantjatjara and Arrernte woman whose creativity shines in this film. Initially her idea was to compose a song. The complexities of the sounds and lyrics she created became the force behind her ‘Song Dress’ as she wanted to ‘see’ the music. Lizzie designed the dress, and painted the fabric, which matches the rhythm, flow and beats of the music. Alongside some of her animation work, this film showcases how her dress makes her feel. Lizzie is a creative phenomenon.
