Aluminium in Aboriginal Art

Author:Shanghai Yika Addtime:2015/12/21

A partnership between the Waringarri Aboriginal arts centre in Kununurra and Wesfarmers, Western Australia, has seen Aboriginal artists from the East Kimberly create a set of 15 aluminium sculptures which have been cast from designs carved on boab nuts.
The Boab100 collection saw 15 emerging and senior artists chosen to produce one cast each from the boab nut that they had personally picked. The casts were sent to Brisbane and Shanghai workshops to be produced into white aluminium.
Australian public institutions, such as the Art Gallery of Western Australia, the National Library in Canberra, Charles Darwin University in Darwin and the Parliament of Western Australia, have been gifted a set of all 15 designs.
