Dreamtime River Bed Black

The Australian Aboriginal designs are colorful, vibrant and decorative. Aboriginal art is one of the oldest and most traditional art forms in the world. It is believed to be over 50.000 years old and was passed down through cave, rock, sand or earth paintings. Now she has found a new medium - the Aboriginal fabrics. The designs are created by Aboriginal artists and each fabric tells a story from Aboriginal mythology. Many small color dots are often used, the designs are based on familiar wild and animal motifs and usually use a lively color palette.

Dreamtime story for the Dreamtime River Bed Black Design by Anna Pitjara:

Aboriginal people have lived in Australia, the driest continent on earth, for around 60.000 years. Their dependence on streams and rivers for vital needs has given them a deep understanding and extensive knowledge of water resource management. They keep the memory of rivers alive by telling stories, singing songs, visiting dry riverbeds, and artistically capturing the landscape on canvas, cave paintings, and other forms.

Anna Pitjara, an experienced and recognized artist, brings her personal memory of a dry riverbed to canvas. In this stunning work of art, Anna skillfully illustrates a dry riverbed where people walk and discuss how they can preserve the riverbed for future generations.
