Description

Roseranna Larry's design is printed on this A-line mini dress, which depicts the story of Janyanpartinya creek (Mount Campbell), passed down to her from Old Lady Napaltjarri Morton. The kingki/tjanpa and milarrpa - boogey men and women - live near this creek. The old ladies can sing the boogey men and women so that they come.

Roseanna was born in Papunya in 1980 and grew up in Haasts Bluff. She is Chairperson of Ikuntji Artists and has travelled throughout Australia and Europe visiting Luritja collections in museums. She began painting this story in 2017 after Old Lady Morton passed away.

A sleeveless A-line mini dress with a high round neckline and clean silhouette, finishing above the knee. Simple, unfussy and designed to let the art speak.

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 wash, drip dry in shade, warm iron. Avoid tumble dryer and dry cleaner.
