Artist | ATIPALKU INTJALKI


Pitjantjatjara batik artist, is well known for her mastery of batik technique, which is constantly refined and expanded in her practice.

An extremely skilled textile producer with an exquisite colour sense, she quickly adopted the characteristic Ernabellaku walka (a fluid, curvilinear, abstract form) and adapted it for medium and mood.

Her designs are varied, yet all operate within this regional design base, distinctive across the Aangu Pitjantjatjara Lands (SA).

The Ernabellaku walka operates as a signature for art from the region.

Although the women consistently refuse to attach specific meanings to these designs, they acknowledge that they are inspired indirectly by the natural environment. In July 2012 she will be exhibiting for the first time in Singapore..
