The Atnwengerrp (Land of Dreamings) collection is a depiction of the patterns and designs painted on the top half of the women's bodies during ceremonies in their country of Atnwengerrp. Minnie passed away in 2006.
This limited edtion range of seven designs showcases Minnie's energetic brush strokes and bold use of colour.
The standard size for all rugs in this collection is 200 x300cm, and can be custom sized.
