This fabric shows all the different bush foods that Joyce was taught by the old ladies to find, harvest, and cook. Joyce Dixon was born in 1977 at Papunya and has been painting since she was around 10 years old. She paints her country, Karrinyarra (Mount Wedge), around two hours' drive north of Haasts Bluff — the country of the Napaltjarri women and Japaltjarri men. She was raised partly by Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri and Paddy Tjungarrayi Carroll, two senior lawmen and renowned artists of the Papunya Tula art movement of the 1970s. Joyce paints a number of stories, including the Snake and Water Dreaming, the Witchetty Grub and Snake Dreaming, Bush Onion and Bush flowers, inherited from senior relatives on both her mother's and father's sides.
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.
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.
