These texturally exquisite cushion covers are created through Better World Arts Cross Cultural Projects. This cushion was designed by Kathy Maringka of Kaljiti Arts in the Anangu/Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara lands in central Australia and chain-stitched by skilled Kashmiri artisans with the highest quality Kashmiri wool. The Cross Cultural Projects give substantial benefits to all the participants in the production process. The results truly have to be seen and touched to be believed.

This pillow is taken from an original painting. Kathy’s painting is part of the recent emergence of exciting work emerging from the Katjiti Arts Centre. The style is described as Walka, which is unique to the Aboriginal women artists of the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands, in remote north-west South Australia. Walka refers any meaningful mark or pattern, and is the work used to describe body paint used during traditional Imna or dance ceromonies. Country and culture give Kaltjit Arts works distinctive ingredients that unite them as community creations.
