Silk Tie - Untitled Tie by Yukultji Napangati
$80.00
Yukultji’s untitled work depicts designs associated with the site of Marrapinti, a rockhole west of the Pollock Hills in Western Australia. A large group of ancestral women camped at this site before continuing their journey to the east, passing through Wala Wala, Kiwikurra and Ngaminya. At Marrapinti, the women made nose bones also known as marrapinti – ceremonial adornments that are worn through the web of the nose.
The women continued their travels towards the east, gathering the edible berries known as kampurarrpa or desert raisins from the small shrub Solanum centrale along the way. Kampurarrpa can be eaten directly from the plant, or ground into a paste and cooked over coals to make damper.
Yukultji is known for her grand, undulating canvases that suggest a topographical view from the upper layers of the atmosphere. The great intricacy and care of her mark making demonstrate the artist’s intimate knowledge of every ripple and fold of her Country.
100% silk satin with cotton padding and silk lining.
All of our ties come in a beautiful giftbox and include an Artist’s card, detailing the artist’s work and practice.
