This Doris Day shift dress by Keturah Zimran OAM depicts the puli puli (rocks) at two Country sites: Haasts Bluff, where she grew up, and Karrkurrutintja (Lake McDonald) on the Western Australia/Northern Territory border - an important site of the Pilkati (snake) Tjukurrpa of Kaniya Kutjarra (two carpet snakes, two brothers). This story was passed down through her grandmother Narputta Nangala Jugadai and mother Molly Jugadai, both founding members of Ikuntji Artists.
"The rocks I paint are my own story. I like to paint; painting helps me forget my troubles. My grandmother used to say to me when I was younger: 'One day you will paint.'"
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.
