This is because each print is derived from original artwork. The unique nature of these artworks means that items with the same print might not match exactly, as they may feature different zoom levels or sections of the painting.

We collaborate with ethical production partners in South America and Europe that we personally assessed and vetted for the state of their facilities, the code of conduct they apply, the feedback from employees, and application of fair wages; amongst many other factors.
Based on our research and expertise in manufacturing, crafting garments in the same country where the fabric originates is a more sustainable approach, minimising waste. This holds true when the facilities uphold sustainable manufacturing standards.

The Original Artwork: Ngayuku Ngura (my country)
The artist has painted their impression of ngayuku ngura (my country). Kapi tjukurla are the water holes represented by circles. By their very nature waterholes also mark sites related to the Creation Ancestors’ journeys across the country; the ‘dreaming tracks’ followed by countless generations of Anangu since. They created landforms and customs to be passed on and maintained over subsequent generations. The sites are linked through inma or ceremony - the singing, dancing and body painting which reveals the laws of nature and provides a blueprint for life and a guiding map of country.
In paintings such as this one, Anangu share, celebrate, and pass on the Tjukurpa and the links it forms with their country and kin.
This painting depicts Veronica's country with the animal and plans and various places. It also hides the story of her great-grandfather as he tries to spear Wanampi who is just about to jump into the splashing water. Above her ancestor, she depicts his Nangkari powers. Her paintings are complex stories in an explosion of colour.
