Meaning of fabric design
These patterns evoke the rippling movements of freshwater mud that emerge after heavy monsoon rains on the floodplains of Djinkarr and Nangak.
These ripples form on the Earth's surface in delicate, repetitive and changing patterns. These mud ripples move, crack, disappear and reappear in response to changing winds, rains and new appearances of the sun.
The ripples depicted in this composition belong to Elizabeth's native land, the floodplains of Djinkarr and Nangak south of Maningrida in Arnhem Land.
This design depicts the patterns of the freshwater mud ripples, which emerge after strong monsoonal wet seasons on the Djinkarr and Nangak flood plains.
These ripples form on the earth's surface in delicate repetitive and shifting patterns. The mud ripples move, crack, disappear and re-emerge in response to the changing wind, rains and new sun.
