Artwork Story
Ngani Pek Che Durrmu – Our Group of Artists working together
Late in 2017 the artists of Durrmu Arts at Peppimenarti in the Northern Territory collaborated with Jocelyn Tribe and Basil Hall to create this magnificent series of silkscreen prints.
Established artists such as Regina Wilson and Kathleen Korda, lead a small group of emerging artists through the process of printmaking and the exploration of tradition patterns, designs and basket stitch techniques.
This painting represents traditional body painting designs applied to male and female torsos for ceremonial dance. The dots are referred to as Durrmu – which also means painting.
