Aboriginal Art Drawstring Bag – Teddy Gibson

Step out in style with these great new Australian Made cotton drawstring bags featuring artwork by Teddy Gibson from Warlukurlangu Artists.

Drawstring bags are very casual and handy and machine washable. They are useful to keep items separate from other items such as using to seperate your soiled clothes when travelling, keeping gym shoes and socks away from other items in your bag post-workout. The bag packs away neatly, but is easy to locate due to its bright colour.

Artwork

This particular site of Yankirri Jukurrpa, (emu dreaming) is at Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu. The ‘yankirri’ travelled to the rockhole at Ngarlikurlangu to find water. This Jukurrpa (Dreaming) story belongs to Jangala/Jampijinpa men and Nagala/Nampijnpa women. In Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements.

Emus are usually represented by their ‘wirliya’ (footprints), arrow-like shapes that show them walking around Ngarlikurlangu eating ‘yakajirri’ (bush raisin). In the time of the Jukurrpa there was a fight at Ngarlikiurlangu between a ‘yankirri’ ancestor and Wardilyka (Australian bustard) ancestors over sharing the ‘yakajirri’. There is also a dance for this Jukurrpa that is performed during ceremonies.

*The item is packaged with information about the artist and artwork.
