Description
This exquisite Lenzing Modal scarf is the result of a fair trade project between Better World Arts, Ikuntji Artists, and artisans in India. Beautifully made in fine modal – a fibre derived from nature, LENZING™ Modal fiber types have been certified as compostable and biodegradable under industrial, home, soil and marine conditions, thus they can fully revert back to nature. This scarf features Keturah Zimran’s artwork, Puli Puli.
Artwork Story:
Keturah depicts the puli puli (rocks) at two different sites: the landscapes at Haasts Bluff and also Karrkurrutintja (Lake McDonald). Keturah depicts her childhood memories of both places.
“The sand hills I paint are my mother’s story and the rocks I paint are my own story. My paintings are about my story and my mother’s. When I look at my paintings I feel happy. My Grandmother used to say to me when I was younger: “One day you will paint.”
Better World Arts are endorsed members of the Fair Traders Association of Australia and New Zealand and have been operating for over two decades. They work with traditional artisans from remote regions in Kashmir, Peru, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh and Nepal (Tibetan refugees); and with Australian Aboriginal artists from remote communities across Australia, from Arnhem Land to Central and the Western Desert regions, rural locations and cities.
