Winifred Reid, Karlaya. 2020. 500mm x 500mm. Acrylic on cardboard. Warakurna Artists. (#78-20)

Rosanna (Winifred) Reid is an artist from Warakurna Community. She is a proud mother and a very proud Grandmother. She mostly paints about the Minyma Lungkata (mother blue tongue lizard) Tjukurrpa site just out of Warakurna Community. This is in her Mother's country.

In this design Winifred illustrates a pair of karlaya (emu) minding their eggs.

Since 2014, artists have been experimenting with ideas and designs through the Ngurra Streetwear Project. The focus every year is to create print-ready designs, which utilise fashion as a canvas to express self, Ngaanyatjarra culture and life in a remote community. In addition to having the opportunity to see their works immortalised on streetwear, artists learn hands on skills in graphic design, layout, and merchandising.Working with graphic designer, Jack Searls, each year we host a week-long intensive design workshop to create aesthetic elements that are new and original. Participants use paint, textas and photography to create a host of imagery from around the community, which are then workshopped to create the best images for screen printing as well as creating a design direction for the overall project.

The workshops include photography, collage and digital manipulation using design software. Participants then made the final designs print ready and worked out costing, sizes and market development.
