AUSTRALIAN MADE

“This is my country. I paint because I enjoy painting. My Mother, Edie Holmes let us paint with her when we were young and now we paint all the time. We still paint and talk together in a family group with our kids.” – Alana Holmes

Imagine carrying this beautiful tote bag and sparking inspiration and conversation everywhere you guy. You can't but love this design based on the amazing painting of  Alana Holmes with its story and connection to country.

The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr dreaming stories. The artists paint their country where those stories sit.

Alana has painted her country after rain where the ground may seem dry but the flowers and trees are green and growing strong. 

Alana's mother Edie Holmes is a well known artist of Ampilatwatja, who taught Alana how to paint when she was a young child.

Like many mums, Alana is extremely busy with four children to look after and though she loves to paint she does not get the time to paint like she used to.

If your pet wears a collar then they can wear one of these 100% Cotton Pet Bandanas. Made in Australia, pet bandanas feature incredible artwork of Betty Pula Morton reproduced under license from Artists of Ampilatwatja (pronounced um-bludder-witch)  in the Northern Territory. These pet bandanas are worn on the collar rather than the neck so one size fits most!  

Betty has been painting with Artists of Ampilatwatja since 2013. She draws her inspiration from the country where she goes hunting or looking for bush yams and bush bananas, “sometimes I just like to go out there to see country”.

The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999 near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. The work produced by the artists is recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities, due to the application of fine dots and the often bright, figurative depiction of the land. 

Instructions:
Slip the collar all the way through the bandana opening. The bandana is now attached to the collar so you don't have to worry about it untying. 

Artwork/placement varies between bandana so each one is a little bit different and may vary from image shown.

Judy Napangardi Watson was born at Yarungkanji, Mt. Doreen Station, at the time when many Warlpiri & other Central & Western Desert Peoples were living a traditional nomadic life. Judy was taught painting by her elder sister, Maggie Napangardi Watson. She painted alongside her at Warlukurlangu artists for a number of years, developing her own unique style.

Judy is at the forefront of a move towards more abstract rendering of Jukurrpa, or The Dreaming,  by Warlpiri artists, however her work retains strong kurruwarri, the details which tell of the sacredness of place and song in her culture. Judy Napangardi Watson has been exhibiting artwork since 1990 throughout Australia & around the world. Her works are featured in several major collections.

Established in 1985, Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation is a not-for-profit organisation that is 100% Aboriginal-owned by its artists from the remote desert communities of Yuendumu and Nyirripi in Central Australia.  

Artwork/placement varies between each table runner. Each is unique and may differ slightly from image shown.

More about the artist:

It was this design that I saw hanging from a small gift store in the Northern New South Wales town of Brunswick Heads. It appealed to me so much and led me to Alperstein Designs and their collaboration with indigenous artists, something I had been searching for. Judy's work is eye-catching, the colours and shapes mesmerising, 

Judy Watson has described her experiences of travelling to her great-grandmother’s country in north-west Queensland, as ‘learning from the ground up’. It is a philosophy she has transplanted on her several journeys and residencies abroad. A distinguished artist, Judy represented Australia at the 1997 Venice Biennale,

Watson’s matrilineal link to the country of her ancestors has always been central to her printmaking and painting. The hidden histories of Indigenous experience on the colonial frontier – particularly those of women – continue to inspire her. Watson seeks the indelible impressions of past presence on the landscape – rubbings, engravings and incisions – and subtly inscribes them upon her work. 

Through her art, Watson repatriates the human artefacts and objects of collected cultures in museum storehouses, and reveals the ‘skeletons’ in colonial ‘closets’:

This magnificent artist interview by the Tate Gallery gives us an insight into Judy's work and inspiration. Along with her pieces, Judy's journey into understanding her grandmother's and great grandmother's stories,  also helps us to confront Aboriginal history in this country. Watch out for Judy's mum Joyce. She's a national treasure!
