This rug was designed by Tali Tali Pompey of Kaljiti Arts in the Anangu/Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara lands in central Australia and chain-stitched by hand by skilled Kashmiri artisans with the highest quality Kashmiri wool. This rug design is from an original painting, done in acrylic paint on paper. This abstract image is typical of Walka work, which is unique to the Aboriginal women artists of the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands, in remote north-west South Australia. The different forms of the desert landscape have a great impact on the artists' use of colour and image construction. The imagery is also influenced by the ancient Aboriginal culture and the land from which it draws its origins. Specific titles, however, are seldom given to the 'walka' artwork. This piece is a good example of very recent, more simplified images now being produced at Kaltjiti Arts.
