This Doris Day shift dress by Eunice Napanangka Jack depicts her father's Country at Kuruyultu - a rockhole in Western Australia where she was born.
Eunice Napanangka Jack was born in 1940 at Lupul in the Sir Frederick Ranges. Her mother carried her piggyback all the way from Western Australia to Haasts Bluff as a little girl. Eunice began painting with the opening of the Ikuntji Women's Centre in August 1992 and is now represented in leading galleries worldwide.
"My grandfather speared a wallaby at Kuruyultu. That next morning I was born, near the rockhole there. We had to leave that place - my father, my mother, my extended family - and we all went to Haasts Bluff. I have been back for visits but never lived there again in my country. I think about it every day."
A 1960s-inspired shift dress in a flattering A-line silhouette, finishing just above the knee. Mid-length sleeves and two scoop side pockets.
Hand-screen printed in Australia. 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.
Care: Cold gentle machine or hand wash, drip dry in shade, warm iron. Avoid tumble dryer and dry cleaner.
