Her paintings carry this knowledge forward on canvas and linen, in patterns that work on several levels at once: the fruit, leaves and flowers of the plant itself, and the body-paint designs worn during Awelye, women's ceremony, one of the world's oldest continuous art forms, used to heal, to connect to country, and to pass tradition on to the next generation.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\" class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eLike much of Utopia's painting tradition, this lineage traces back to the community's Batik Project of the late 1970s, when local women began translating body-paint designs onto fabric, before the shift to acrylic on canvas and linen in the late 1980s.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\" class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eAcross her work, Katie moves fluidly between colour and technique, rarely settling into one fixed approach.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"text-align: center;\" align=\"center\" class=\"font-claude-response-body\"\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis painting was purchased directly from Katie and comes with an Gallery certificate of authenticity.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"MARY RUMBLE PITJARA","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":66995267567661,"sku":null,"price":1900.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0357\/9130\/6797\/files\/KRP500.jpg?v=1783498288","url":"https:\/\/altyerre.com.au\/products\/katie-rumble-pitjara-petyarre-bush-medicine","provider":"Altyerre Aboriginal Art","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
