Summary

This superbly illustrated volume celebrates the early development of Australian Aboriginal women¿s art through the evolution of batik production in five central desert communities Ernabella, Fregon, Utopia, Yuendumu and Kintore. Originating in Indonesia, batik is a wax-resist process used to create patterned fabric. It first emerged as a dynamic new form of Aboriginal art during the 1970s and 1980s, and has since gone on to become one of the most instantly recognizable forms of Aboriginal art. Across the Desert features many exceptional and pioneering works including designs created by leading artists Nyukana Baker, Emily Kam Kngwarray, and Ada Bird Petyarr, who all began their careers in the medium.
