Introduction
The Australian contribution to - ArtCloth: Engaging New Visions – will be on the blogspot for the next two weeks, thereby completing the contributions to this exhibition.
The catalog of the exhibition is far more detailed in terms of opening addresses and artist’s biographies, curriculum vitae and statements etc. and moreover, is a holistic record of the exhibition itself.
Synopsis of Artwork: Tjariya (Nungalka) Stanley,Untitled
Tjariya (Nungalka) Stanley was taught batik in the 1970’s when artists Nyukana (Daisy) Baker, Jillian Davey and Angkaliya Purampi (deceased) came back from a workshop in Indonesia and taught other Ernabella women the batik process.
“They showed us how to use a tjanting and put the wax on”, she said. When describing this piece and the colours, Tjariya uses the Pitjantjatjara word “inuntji”, which means fresh plant growth, especially blossom. These colors can be seen as wildflowers in spring around the Musgrave Ranges. The long shapes represent “karu” (creeks) that flowed with water for the first time in many years last December. The rounded half moon shapes are “puli” (rocks) - another characteristic feature of the landscape of her country.

Synopsis of Artwork: Tjunkaya Tapaya, Untitled
Tjunkaya Tapaya has been doing batik since the 1970’s when artists Nyukana (Daisy) Baker, Jillian Davey and Angkaliya Purampi (deceased) came back from a workshop in Indonesia and taught other Ernabella women the batik process.
Tjunkaya often draws on the environment of her country in her batik work. This piece incorporates plant iconography such as “tjanpi” (grass), “kampurarpa” (bush tomatoes), “kaliny-kalinypa” (honey grevillea) and other “putipulawa” (wildflowers). The colors she has used in this piece reflect the color of the country around Ernabella after the big summer rains, when green and yellow grasses and new growth of trees and shrubs cover the landscape.
