Highlights

Printmaking has become an important medium for Kuninjku women, enabling many artists to extend their more traditional practice of fibre art. The success of much printmaking by Kuninjku women artists lies in the synergy between the physicality of the etching process and the harvesting and manipulation of local flora used in weaving. The tactility of fibre plants and objects is imparted in the graphic, hewn quality of the etched image.
