Description
Our authentic indigenous craft print fabric has been selected from a range of artists and is suitable for all quilting and craft projects. It’s 100% cotton and comes in a 145cm width. Available by the metre. Aboriginal artist, Julie Paige was born in Alice Springs Central Australia from the language area of “Umutju-South West Peterman-West of Uluru. She has been painting for over 30 years for various galleries and private buyers, designed t-shirts and been commissioned for large murals. Many of her works have been sent both interstate and overseas to Europe, America, Germany and Canada.
Julie was taught by her mother and aunt where she mainly paints dots from Central Australia, using acrylics on all types of mediums including leather, ceramics and canvas. Her stories are told using traditional symbols throughout her work, passed down from her grandmothers. Something that is important to Julie is passing down her knowledge and skills to her children, as well as school kids. It is here that she teaches them about traditional paintings and the stories behind them.
BUSH TUCKER
In the centre are three people sitting at their campfire. They have digging sticks and coolamons at their side showing that they are females. They are probably talking of the various foods available in the surrounding lands. The honey ants, small lizards, snakes and witchetty grubs are all shown, along with some bush fruits. The footprints wandering through the paintings show the women as gatherers of these foods.
