Ikuntji Artists - Rockholes – Angela Pants

This funky piece of wearable art is part of our collaboration with Publisher Textiles. Each pair is printed and made in Australia!

These wide legged pants are the most fun pants to wear. Inspired by 1940’s stars Lauren Bacall, Katherine Hepburn, and Marlene Dietrich, they have a chic flow to them and are so comfortable. Featuring belt loops, a front zipper fly and button fastener and deep side pockets, they are made from a lightweight cotton linen blend. Balance out the wide leg silhouette with a simple fit and flare top or play with a more dramatic silhouette by pairing them with a voluminous blouse for a Lauren Bacall look.

Print Name: Rockholes
Artist: Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon

Artwork Details:
This design by Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon depicts Takupalangu west of Kintore. This is Uta Uta Tjangala’s country, which he has painted throughout his career. Nampitjinpa paints her father’s country of rockholes (puli) and sandhills (tali). There is plenty bushtucker – mangilpa, which are little black seeds around. The road to Kiwirrkurra passes Takupalangu on the side.
Alice describes the big swamp of Takupalangu, in her Fathers country. Takupalangu is filled up with bush vegetables called mungilpa. When Alice was a small girl she travelled this country with her family. Her mother used to collect mungilpa and pummel it into dough which she made into damper. It is also a good place for hunting bush meat as the swamp is surrounded by rock hills.
