Description

This design by Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon depicts Takupalangu west of Kintore. This is Uta Uta Tjangala's country, which he has painted throughout his career. Nampitjinpa paints her father's country of rockholes (puli) and sandhills (tali). There is plenty bushtucker – mangilpa, which are little black seeds around. The road to Kiwirrkurra passes Takupalangu on the side. Alice describes the big swamp of Takupalangu, in her Father's country. Takupalangu is filled up with bush vegetables called mungilpa. When Alice was a small girl she travelled this country with her family. Her mother used to collect mungilpa and pummel it into dough which she made into damper. It is also a good place for hunting bush meat as the swamp is surrounded by rock hills. Her design was on the cover of Vogue.

Screen printed by hand in Australia. Available by the 50cm. Every purchase goes directly back to the artist and the community.

Make something with it. A dress. A cushion. Curtains. A piece of the Western Desert, made by your hands.
