#AceNewsDesk – Master Arnhem Land artist Margaret Rarru Garrawurra wins top prize in 2022 NATSIAA’s with sweeping woven sail
A sweeping, large-scale woven sail, once used on fishing boats between Arnhem Land and Indonesia prior to colonisation, has won first prize in the prestigious National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards.
Six other artists have won category prizes including bark painting and multi-media works, picked from 63 finalists from over 200 entries.
This year the NATSIAA’s became the richest art award in the country, with $190,000 in the prize pool overall and a doubling of the top prize to $100,000.
These are the winners.
Telstra Art Award
The major prize this year went to senior Yolngu artist Margaret Rarru Garrawurra for Dhomala (pandanus sail).
Ms Garrawurra, who lives in Milingimbi in north east Arnhem Land, recreated the type of sail used on Macassan fishing by boats, which came to trade with Yolngu in north east Arnhem Land prior to colonisation.
