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 depicts a Syaw or fish-net, traditionally woven with pinbin (bush vine) by the women and men of Peppimenarti to capture fish and cray-fish from fresh water creeks and rivers.
