Fabric Designer: Ruth Nungarrayi Spencer
The design: Wardapi Jukurrpa (Goanna Dreaming)
This artwork depicts a Sand monitor/goanna Creation Story that travelled across the desert. This painting focuses on the portion of the Jukurrpa that takes place at Yarripilangu. A Japangardi man wooed a Nungarrayi woman (wrong-skin taboo relationship) and they went up the hill at Yarripilangu where they made love. The earth there turned to white ochre and the man turned himself and all the women into ‘wardapi’ (goannas). The Japangardi man eventually brought the Nungarrayi woman back to Purturlu to live. White ochre is still found on top of the hill at Yarripilangu and is used today for love magic and ceremonial decoration.
The fabric was digitally printed then beautifully crafted by our fair trade partners, in Cambodia. The artists are paid a royalty fee for every metre printed.All our bags are made in small batches as all the fabrics are handprinted in very limited quantities, usually no more than 2 metres.
Fair Trade: #whomadeyourbag – Mr Run Cheak and his wife make the small and large messenger bags. They have been working for social enterprise Kravan House for more than 15 years. Mr Run Cheak was a farmer who stepped on a landmine in 1993. At Kravan House he retrained as an artisan which has given him good steady income and he has become a master craftsman.
