So
where was I born?
I,
Anita Apinis-Herman was born in Stanmore in Sydney, Australia
and at the age of 6 moved to Revesby in the western suburbs,
where my family lived for about 30 years, a place of my childhood
memories. Weaving was a major activity for my mother, while
in Revesby. The sunny bright front bedroom was the home of
my mother's two large floor looms and where many of her fabrics
were created in the 1960's, 70's and 80's.
Many
of her weavings and her weaving loom can be seen in the
Immigration Museum(see link below) in Melbourne.
I was very happy when the Museum asked me to become involved
with the display as it offered me a grand place to show the
loom. My mother's other loom is still with me at my home in
Melbourne and I still weave on it. I will always treasure
what my mother has passed down and her lovely works are an
inspiration to both myself and my daughter Kaija.
If
anyone is interested in my mother's work or my work please

Immigration Museum website and in particular my mother's story
called "Hear Her Voice" can be found at:
