The story:
These prints were exhibited in the 20th Desert Mob exhibition at the Araluen Art Centre in Alice Springs in September 2010 and comprise 1 print from each of the 40 exhibiting desert art communities.
As part of the celebration of the twentieth anniversary of Desert Mob, Basil Hall Editions produced the first complete collection of prints from all of the art centres currently affiliated with Desart, the Association of Central Australian Art and Craft Centres.
“The art centres were each sent a wood block, tools and instructions in early 2010 and invited to select an artist to cut, burn, drill or incise the block in some way. Basil Hall Editions then made a small edition of 20 from each block.
Ten of these prints were given to the artists to sell through their art centres and ten are available for sale in complete sets from our stockroom. They are boxed in specially made folios which are decorated with individually commissioned tjanpi coil designs.”
