Tjanpi Desert Weavers  

Title: Art Centre Toyota

Tjanpi (native desert grasses), raffia, wire: 26 x 42 x 3 cm

This is the art centre Toyota here in Papulankutja. It drives around picking ladies up to do painting in the morning and then taking ladies home again in the afternoon. Sometimes we go out bush in this Toyota to get tjanpi, bush medicine, or we might go on the Wingellina road for maku (witchetty grub), tinka (goanna), honey ants or bush banana. We also go in this Toyota to Alice Springs for exhibitions, like Desert Mob. Or we might drive to Alice Springs to catch a plane, maybe to Perth for an exhibition like Revealed.
