Martumili Artists was established by Martu people living in the communities of Parnpajinya (Newman), Jigalong, Parnngurr, Punmu, Kunawarritji, Irrungadji and Warralong, and it draws on strong influences of aboriginal art history. The artists and their families are the traditional custodians of vast stretches of the Great Sandy, Little Sandy and Gibson Deserts as well as the Karlamilyi (Rudall River) area. Most Martu people maintain an entirely independent, nomadic desert lifestyle until the 1950s and 1960s when they walked into settlements in response to a long and severe drought. Today, Martu people live in their own communities and regularly visit regional centres such as Newman and Port Hedland.
ALPERSTEIN DESIGNS | Chris Black Cotton Socks
Regular price $29.95 Sale price $10.00 $10.00
These cotton socks are based on artwork by Chris Black from Jilamara Arts & Crafts Association. They will have you hemming your pants way high. Jilamara Arts & Crafts Association are an incorporated non-profit, Tiwi governed organisation that was established in 1989. Jilamara is in the remote aboriginal community of Milikapiti, overlooking the Arafura Sea, on the north coast of Melville Island, the larger of two Islands that make up the Tiwi Islands.
Cotton Socks
Size: 8-11
Made in Australia.
Chris Black was born at Milikapiti Community, where he has spent the majority of his life. He is part of a large clan, consisting of three main families – the Bush, Black and Brown family names make up the majority of the Miartuwee Clan.
Chris attended high school at Kormilda College in Darwin. On return to Milikapiti, Chris was nurtured by his Aminayi (Grandfather) Black Joe who was a renowned Tiwi artist. Chris remembers this wise old man very well. Black Joe was a great carver, artist, spear-maker and culture man who created Tiwi songs for Chris when he was young. When Chris attends ceremony with family he sings these songs that were given to him by Black Joe. The memory of his aminayi is the main influence on his arts practice today. Looking at old designs painted in his grandfather’s era inspires Chris greatly and gradually over time he has become one of the exciting emerging artists currently working at Jilamara Arts and Crafts Association.
Also known as ‘Kojak’, he creates colourful compositions of jilamara (Tiwi body paint designs), various types of fish found around Melville Island and the Jarrangini (Buffalo). He paints his unique contemporary styles with natural earth pigments collected from around Milikapiti and processed by hand at the art centre. White and yellow ochre are collected and ground into a fine powder, the yellow is then cooked on an open fire into the red that make up the three main colours of the Tiwi palette. Chris’ unique style has caught the attention of many people in recent times and one of his limited-edition prints was recently licensed as a tattoo through the Copyright Agency – a poetic creative development that speaks to the body art (jilamara) foundations of Tiwi art making styles.
Jilamara artists are renowned for producing innovative contemporary works based on traditional ceremonial body painting designs, clan totems and Tiwi creation stories. Artists work from a palette of natural ochres to produce paintings on linen, canvas, paper, printmaking, weaving, bark & carved wood.
Over the course of three decades Jilamara artists have established themselves among the most recognised Indigenous artists nationally and internationally. With the support of the art centre, these artists have played a key role in cultural maintenance and renewal for the Tiwi people.

This is not just a piece of furniture but an investment piece you'll be proud of. Think about it this piece of furniture was made 50 years ago, the year the Sydney Opera House was opened and it still looks stunning.
Vintage, yet contemporary with clean lines. It will bring a charm to any older home or a new build lacking in soul, texture and warmth.
Admire the Aussie craftsmanship of 1973. Squishy, comfy and great looking, this soft seducer is a sister piece to the Nore Archibald armchair that features as a permanent fixture in Melbourne's NGV (National Gallery of Victoria) in Black. Ahh, but do they have the tan leather 2-seater lounge???
Made from striking Australian eucalyptus hardwood & premium/thick Howe leather when the latter was still produced and finished in Australia.
The lounge is of incredible quality, and is genuinely rare to find in this now fashionable sumptuous tan colour.
The two seats are actually separate, allowing easy repositioning as well as multifunctionality to your space whether it be a home, study, office or grooovy corporate reception area.
Norman Archibald is a furniture designer active ca.1973 developing furniture for Nore Furniture Pty Ltd, Bayswater, Victoria.
Howe Leather still exists. In 1997 it repositioned itself as an automotive leather supplier producing state-of-the-art car seat leather for the industry for manufacturers all around the world.
Composition: Leather/Eucalyptus wood
For a private appointment to inspect the Nore Archibald 2 seater sofa please call Lidia on 0404 893 180. A one-seater is also available for serious collectors to complete the set.
