Fine Lenzig Modal Scarf - Indigenous Artists Damien & Yilpi Marks

Damien and Yilpi Marks often work together to create beautiful collaborative works depicting traditional life in the desert. Damien was born in 1967 at Haasts Bluff, 300 km west of Alice Springs, and Yilpi was born in 1969 in Ernabella (Pukatja), in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands of north-west South Australia.

Lenzing Modal is a high-quality textile fiber known for its excellent softness, breathability, and environmental friendliness.

 

About the Art

TALI (SANDHILLS)
This beautiful image depicts the sandhills of Damien’s Country, Mount Liebig, stretching towards Papunya. From a distance, the wind blows across the sand, making the hills appear to move and change shape. The wind forms ripples, undulations, and ridges in the sand — the same shapes and patterns represented in this painting.

These sandhills are a common sight around Papunya, with some so large they can only be crossed on foot. Between the sandhills lie dry claypans and rockholes, marking the natural landscape of Damien’s Country.

Royalties are paid to the artist once a month
