About the Artwork
Cynthia is a highly skilled punu maker. Punu is the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara word for wood, and refers to the traditional artifacts carved from local hard timbers, usually mulga. The design is applied using hot wire to burn traditional stories and patterns into the surface of the wood. Cynthia is a master Punu maker. Here her artwork has been used to create the print on a soft cotton baby blanket. Cynthia Burke's artworks are Indigenous Australian Art Code registered.
