Across the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands, old motorcars are laid to rest, twisted metallic and glass shards glittering under the endless sky. When a car is set alight, the plastic and upholstery disintegrate under the flames leaving behind sculptural wire skeletons and rusted bonnets and doors, reminiscent of dry desert scapes.
Tjanpi Desert Weavers gather, prepare and use 'tjanpi' (grass) to make spectacular contemporary fibre art that displays endless creativity. In this exhibition, salvaged metal seat frames are used in a type of free-form weaving. The sculptures take on the shape of the frames and the weaving softens the form, imbuing it with the colours and stories of Country and culture.
Exhibiting artists include: Bridget Baker l Kathy Dodd l Kim Dodd Fiona Dodd l Ngilan (Margaret) Dodd l Kayla Gayla l Collette Stewart Pinuka (Margaret) Yai Yai l Amy Yilpi
