Additional Information
Yarrenyty Arltere Artists is a not for profit, Indigenous owned and managed organisation. A community enterprise, its localised art program celebrates creativity, innovation and diversity, located in the heart of Alice Springs in the Larapinta Valley Town Camp. Established in 2000 as a response the chronic social issues faced by the town camp, it is now a vibrant and dynamic hub, a safe and non-judgemental environment in which people can work, access services, and plan for the future. Open to all Yarrenyty Arltere Town Camp community members, its strength and success comes from the social, emotional and cultural capital that is shared there daily, and is instrumental in rebuilding strength in the community and creating economic access for people.
Louise Robertson’s hand sewn bird sculptures are a powerful expression of life and culture that connect with people across Australia and internationally. A Walpari woman, she lives in Alice Springs with her husband and 5 children. Her mother in law, fellow Yarrenyty Arltere artist Dulcie Sharpe, taught her to sew, admitting that she was nervous at first, but is fully committed to sewing every day, trying new things and always thinking of ideas for new sculptures. Her motivation is that she wants people to feel as happy when they look at her work as she feels when she is making it, and wants people ‘to see how beautiful the desert is and how beautiful the people that live here are.’
The unique handmade sculpture measures 45 x 10 x 10 cm, and is presented on a metal stand for display.
