“Tjukula - rock-holes” by Dianne Robinson from Iwantja Arts

These amazing handmade wool area rugs by Better World Arts are the result of a collaboration between Australian indigenous people and craftsman from the remote Himalayan region of Kashmir.  Focusing on fine art instead of predictable commercialised Aboriginal images, they harness powerful stories from the traditional artists of the APY Lands in the remote Northwest corner of South Australia. 

These area rugs are wool on one side and plain canvas on the back.  Please note, this is not a thick  rug,  its is best laid over a rubber anti-slip mat or used as a wall hanging.

The design for this area rug comes from an aboriginal painting by Dianne Robinson.  Tjukula-Rock-holes, are depressions in the rock that collect water after the rains.  Some hold small amounts and some are the size of small swimming pools. They are looked after, cleaned and protected as they provide one of the main sources of semi-permanent water for the desert. 

Better World Arts recognizes that culture is strengthened when traditional skills and life styles are valued and supported. Its creator, Carolyn Wilson, aims to create innovative products which support local communities culturally and economically, and engage the global marketplace.
