A truly spectacular one-of-a-kind fibre artwork by Kunwinjku artist Merrill Namundja Ngalkalkdjam, from Gunbalanya in West Arnhem Land.
Measuring over one metre across, this incredible statement piece features an intricately woven circular centre surrounded by beautifully free-flowing natural fibres. Warm ochre, yellow and pink tones contrast against the raw natural fibre, creating a striking sculptural piece with wonderful texture and movement.
Merrill comes from a strong family tradition of artists and fibre weavers and is known for her intricate patterns, detailed craftsmanship and distinctive contemporary fibre works.
Entirely handmade, no two pieces are ever the same. The natural variations and organic form of the fibres are part of what makes this artwork so special.
