About this product
'Yarragaa' Fabric by Lucy Simpson - Price is $115 per metre (Roll width varies from 147-150cm)
Yuwaalaraay woman Lucy Simpson is Creative Director and Principal Designer behind Sydney based design studio Gaawaa Miyay (2009). Simpson's process led practice is inspired by country, relationships, and notions of continuity. Guided by the philosophies of First Nations design, Simpson maps place, experience, and time (story) through materiality and transfer, with commercial / conceptual / community based projects and collaborations spanning a range of media and disciplines.
Dali Dyalgala is a special fabric range collaboration between Koskela and First Nations artists. Spanning the Tiwi Islands, Northern Rivers and Northern Territory, this project truly highlights the adaptability, breadth and depth of artistic expression in the First Nations design industry.
Dali dyalgala is a Darug phrase meaning to embrace. A fitting reflection of the coming together of six female artists across the country from various language groups and cultures. The choice to use Darug language ties the project back to Koskela as we pay respects and acknowledge our local language of the Eora people. Dali dyalgala is a gesture of reconciliation, to embrace one another and work together to make positive change.
Koskela licensed the artworks directly from the artists and art centres to develop a range of unique colourways for each. Dali dyalgala presents a new opportunity to create income streams for First Nations artists and is an exciting addition to Koskela’s fabric range.
