This bishop sleeves top features Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon's design, which depicts the trees of Talaalpi - Alice's 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, close to Walungurru on the Western Australian border, 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.
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.
