This bishop sleeves top brings together two of Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon's designs - Trees at Talaalpi and Tjilkamala Rockholes.
Alice depicts the trees of Talaalpi - her own Country, situated close to Kintore on the Western Australian border. She also depicts Takupalangu, west of Kintore - her father Uta Uta Tjangala's Country of rockholes (puli) and sandhills (tali). 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 cropped bishop sleeves top with a boxy fit, gently scooped neckline and voluminous gathered sleeves for a bold silhouette. 120 reed dupion silk - luminous and iridescent, with a distinctive textured surface.
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: Always dry clean for silk Dupion. Do not hand wash.
