{"product_id":"tie-untitled-by-ray-james-tjangala","title":"Tie Untitled by Ray James Tjangala","description":"Ray’s untitled painting depicts designs associated with the site Karrilwarra, a rockhole west of the Kiwirrkura community. Two ancestral snakes travelled to this site from the far east. At Karrilwarra, the snakes created rockholes, soakages and sandhills before travelling west to Jigalong. The Tingari people later stopped at this site before continuing their journey in the same direction as the snakes. This story forms part of the Tingari Song Cycle, a closely guarded mythology, the specifics of which are known only to initiated Pintupi. In general, the Tingari were a group of ancestral beings who traversed the country creating and transforming its features through their travels.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eRay’s style is a departure from the sinuous rockholes that characterise much of the Papunya Tula canon. The artist is known for his hard-edged geometric designs and repetition of form that render narrative obtuse. In this meditative piece, the viewer is left to wonder whether the artist is portraying the skin of the snake or tracing their travels from east to west.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e100% silk satin with cotton padding and silk lining.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eAll of our ties come in a beautiful giftbox and include an Artist’s card, detailing the artist’s work and practice","brand":"One Of Twelve","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46522357153928,"sku":"179711","price":80.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0374\/8895\/1432\/files\/pta-product-shots-30-copy_jpg.webp?v=1788314371","url":"https:\/\/shop.nma.gov.au\/products\/tie-untitled-by-ray-james-tjangala","provider":"National Museum Australia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
