Walka

This design is from an original painting. The style of art is known as 'walka'. The abstract images, enclosed within a border, are typical of this style which is unique to the Aboriginal women artists of the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands, in remote northwest South Australia. The different forms of the desert landscape have a great impact on the artists' use of colour and image construction. The ancient Aboriginal culture and the land from which it draws its origins also influence the imagery. Specific titles, however, are seldom given to the 'walka' artwork. The artistic process is instinctive and imaginative
