Better World Arts – Aboriginal Art 40cm Cushion Cover

The Art: 

The Artist is Mitjili Napurrula.

Mitjili paints the watiya tjuta tree.  Mitjili's style is unique and recognisable.  She paints her fathers country.  Her mother Tjunkayi Napaltjarri taught her those motifs when story telling, using the same to draw the story as it is told in the traditional way.

The Cushion: 

These beautiful, unique textiles are a cross-cultural collaboration combining Aboriginal designs and traditional Kashmiri rug-making techniques. Chain stitched, using hand dyed wool, each is a completely handmade piece. This project is unusual because it is owned by the artists, rather than licensed to a third party. A more empowering way to work, this brings many direct benefits to the artists’ and their community. Control and ownership of intellectual property are also maintained.

Purchase of these products guarantees a direct return to the Aboriginal artist and their community.

As these products are handmade, there maybe minor variations in dye and design.
