Rurkuni – Gusting, Revving, Rushing

Using contemporary weaving techniques, the artists of Tjanpi Desert Weavers from the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands have worked closely with JamFactory’s Head of Jewellery and Metal Studio Tom Golin to develop a new body of sculptural works inspired by the elements on Country. Tom has fabricated undulating metal frames on which the Tjanpi Desert Weavers have created new and experimental forms.

Exhibitors: Kathy Dodd, Sheena Dodd, Tom Golin, Emma Singer, Pauline Wangin, Pinuka Yai Yai, Julie Yangki, Amy Yilpi, Rhonda Young

Exhibition presented as part of 2025 Tarnanthi Festival, the Art Gallery of South Australia’s festival of contemporary Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander art.
