This pinafore by Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon depicts Takupalangu, west of Kintore - her father Uta Uta Tjangala's Country of rockholes (puli) and sandhills (tali). Takupalangu is a big swamp filled with bush vegetables called mungilpa. When Alice was a small girl she travelled this Country with her family, her mother collecting mungilpa and pummelling it into damper. Alice's Tjukurrpa is the porcupine - Tjilkamala - scurrying about the rockholes and sandhills looking for tucker, while nearby the women are hunting, laying in wait.
Alice was born in 1943 near Talaalpi, close to Walungurru on the Western Australian border, and taught dancing and desert traditions at Kintore School before she began painting. Her father was the late Uta Uta Tjangala, one of the original Papunya Tula painters.
A relaxed-fit pinafore with a gentle A-line shape, falling below the knee. Adjustable straps with metallic D-rings and a pair of patch pockets. Worn over tops, shirts or knits.
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.
