In this design, Mitjili Napurrula depicts her father's Tjukurrpa, the ceremonial spear straightening in Uwalkari country (Gibson desert region). The Watiya Tjuta (Acacia Trees) are the trees that are used to make these spears. Uwalkari country is abundant with Watiya Tjuta, as well as sand hills and other plants. Mitjili paints the motif of the Watiya Tjuta, carrying on the recurring motif as her mother used to draw in the sand. Her mother passed on this Dreaming to her.
A dream in rich tangerine, printed with lustrous, eye catching gold, this luxe silk dupion offers the chance to wear the art of one of Central Australia’s most culturally significant artists. Its crisp, sculptural drape suits structured dresses and skirts, tailored jackets, statement tops, special-occasion pieces and it also shines as a dramatic interior accent.

Princess Silk (Dupion): 100% Silk M/Woven 120 reed Dupion 137cm (highest quality weave): Princess Silk is of the highest quality silks, with 120 reed woven dupion. Dupion fabric is tightly woven with different sized weft and warp threads which gives it a textured appearance and highly-lustrous surface. The fibres are yarn dyed separately and then machine woven to make the fabric. Many colours are yarn dyed woven with different coloured warp and weft threads, giving an iridescent look.
