This bishop sleeves top brings together two designs - Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon's Trees at Talaalpi and Lisa Multa's Tali at Kungkayunti.
Alice depicts the trees of Talaalpi - her own Country, situated close to Kintore on the Western Australian border, where she grew up before moving to Haasts Bluff later in life. Alice was born in 1943 near Talaalpi 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.
Lisa depicts a bird's eye view of the tali tali (sandhills) at Kungkayunti (Brown's Bore) - the Country of her father Joe Tjakamarra Multa, where she grew up. Kungkayunti is an important place for the travelling Tjukurrpa of the ancestral Arrernte women who travelled 600km from Ntaria (Hermannsburg) to Kintore, stopping here to camp, rest, eat and dance. Those women turned into stone and can be seen today. Lisa was born in 1975 and began painting in 2007 after returning to Haasts Bluff and seeing her sisters painting at Ikuntji Artists.
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.
