Walka Wiru Ngura Wiru Tie
By Phyllis Donegan • One of TwelveDescription
One of Twelve
Donegan’s painting ‘Walka Wiru Ngura Wiru’ transports us across the vast desert country surrounding the Tomkinson Ranges near the artist’s home community of Kalka, in the far north-western reaches of South Australia.
The painting’s title, ‘Walka Wiru Ngura Wiru’ translates into English as, ‘lovely country, lovely drawing’.
Through her skilful use of layering and tonal graduation, Donegan’s work creates an immersive experience – her paint appears to vibrate above the surface of the canvas creating a mesmerising optical effect. In this way, the artist breathes life into the undulating tali (sandhills) and puli (rocky hills) that characterise the sprawling desert country of her homelands.
100% silk satin with cotton padding and silk lining.
One of Twelve ties are presented in a beautiful gift box accompanied by a card detailing the artists’ work and practice.
