Aboriginal Art Cushion Cover by Julie Woods (5)
CUSHION COVER WOOL 40cm
These beautiful, unique textiles are a cross -cultural collaboration combining Aboriginal designs and tradional Kashmiri handicraft. The chain-stitched (Gabba in local Kashmiri) cushions are hand stitched by
rural folk in remote villages in one specific region of Kashmir. Over generations they have honed their skills and refined their hand crafted produce. Only the most skilful artisans can faithfully reproduce the images we send to them. Aboriginal artists in remote regions in Australia, as well as others living in the cities, benefit from regular royalties paid monthly, as well as using these products to tell other people about their rich cultural heritage.
ARTIST: Julie Woods
Julie is telling the story of two sisters travelling through her Mother's country towards Dock River, Northern Territory. They stopped at Ilkuwaratjara and cut a wana (digging stick). The punu (wood) was really straight. The little sister was getting homesick, but the big sister said "No, I am taking you to meet your family". Along the way they were digging for kuka (meat such as goanna) and niny (bilby). Thye got kuka and they were happy to have a good feed. The 'U' shapes are the sisters. Next to them are their wana or digging stick. The circles represent rock or waterholes where water collects after the rains.
