An idea seeded nine years ago has inspired what could be the largest Aboriginal dot artwork in the world.
“The legacy of that is, we have all this Country that is pockmarked with holes... Some of these holes, they dig for three months and then [the miners are] gone, but the hole and the injury in the earth stays forever,” he said. It was decided the best way to create such an artwork would be by making individual weaved rugs that could then be joined together as a textile artwork.
Workshops are being held on Ngalia Country, as an opportunity for people from the region to come together to contribute, others are also invited to the workshops to assist in the rug making and connect and learn about the local culture.
