Blush Plants, Lino Print

"This is a bush plant. We use it by boiling. If someone has a bad cough they drink it as bush medicine" Anindilyakwa artists tell contemporary and traditional stories of country through printmaking. New and traditional mark making techniques are applied to the lino, with each artist developing their own unique patterns and imagery. Prints are hand printed with a barren to create each edition.

Robyn was also instrimental in the development of the artists' latest range of Bush Dye colours, enthusiastically collecting and experimenting with new botanicals. "Doing basket earrings, bush dye and ghost net" is what she considers the highlight of working for the art centre.
