Eunice Napanangka Jack was born at Kuruyultu—a rockhole near Tjukurrla in Western Australia. Her grandfather speared a wallaby there the night before she was born. That is the story she paints. That is the Country on this top.
'I think about it every day. That's what I paint: the wallaby mother and daughter.'

This bishop sleeves top is made from 120 reed dupion silk—the highest quality silk weave, luminous and iridescent, with a distinctive textured surface. Eunice's Kuruyultu design is screen printed by hand at the Ikuntji art centre in Haasts Bluff, 2,000 kilometres from Sydney. This is not fashion inspired by Aboriginal art. This is Aboriginal art, worn.
Every purchase from Ikuntji Artists goes directly back to the artist and the community of Haasts Bluff. Ikuntji Artists Aboriginal Corporation is 100% Aboriginal owned and governed—the first art centre in the Western Desert founded by women, for women, in 1992.
Each garment comes with a digital Certificate of Authenticity including the design story. Orders are dispatched from Haasts Bluff, Northern Territory. Please allow a minimum of one week for delivery—you are purchasing from a remote community, and we make the three-hour trip to our nearest post office to get your order to you.
