Project: These beautiful, unique rugs are a cross-cultural collaboration combining Aboriginal designs and traditional Kashmiri rug-making techniques. Chain stitched, using hand dyed wool and finished with a heavy cotton backing, each rug is a completely handmade piece. This project, although in its early stages, is already bringing noticeable benefit to the artists and the community. Purchase of these rugs guarantees a direct return to the Aboriginal artists, as the project is an initiative of Kaltjiti, their own art organisation. Artist: Inawinytji is from Fregon in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands 350km south east of Uluru. Her medium is acrylic on canvas with subjects relating to traditional foods and “Walka” abstract images (a style unique to the region).She also works in the medium of batik. The National Gallery of Victoria and Murdoch University have some of her batiks in their collections.
