Collection inspired by Aboriginal artwork of Gija Man Lindsay Malay. Lindsay works from the Warmun Art Centre, located 200kms outside of Kunnannura in the Kimberley, Western Australia. Warmun is renowned for its artists' use of natural ochre and pigments to denote a contemporary expression of Country and culture and its reputation is felt both nationally and internationally due to the calibre of highly successful artists in the community.
Lindsay's work is vibrant and transfixing, telling the story of Warlawoon, the Country he inherited from his Grandfather and of which his family regained traditional ownership of in 2010.
Wiradjuri woman, Denni Francisco, founder and designer of fashion label Ngali,collaborates with Lindsay to translate his art into textile designs. The prints are translated from actual artworks and we strive to keep the essence of the work and show the organic nuances of the paintings.This exciting collaboration was established through a shared vision of celebration culture, showcasing Aboriginal centred design.
