The works sometimes reference shapes and forms found on country and in the tools and equipment made and used by women in pre-contact times. Forms such as mina (bird nests), kapi kartalpa (rock holes), wira (digging bowls), manguri (a ring used by women for carrying heavy loads on their heads) and piti (a wooden carrying dish). \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan class=\"ui-provider ep bee bar bef beg beh bei bej bek bel bem ben beo bep beq ber bes bet beu bev bew bex bey bez bfa bfb bfc bfd bfe bff bfg bfh bfi bfj bfk\" dir=\"ltr\"\u003eThis resourceful design concept was born out of the 2021 Desert Mob collection titled \u003cem\u003eShapes From Country\u003c\/em\u003e which was produced by Mimili artists and facilitated by Creative Development Officer Emma Franklin. Since that project, Mimili ladies have been busy angle-grinding car seat frames out of discarded cars themselves, using them as free-form weaving frames and sharing their knowledge with one another. The ladies have been so thorough and enthusiastic in their frame collecting that discarded cars in and around Mimili are now completely stripped of these parts!\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Tjanpi Desert Weavers","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67619811754037,"sku":"1098-23","price":2100.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0030\/0354\/7712\/files\/1098-23_2_copy.jpg?v=1710909779","url":"https:\/\/tjanpi.com.au\/products\/1098-23-1","provider":"Tjanpi Desert Weavers","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
