The artwork was made in the senior girls classes at Tiwi College in May for the Silk cut Art Award. This award attracts professional and student artists from all over Australia and Nationally. If they are shortlisted, it would be a great honour for the Tiwi communities, but if they are one of the 4 winners in the student section, their work will be collected by the National Gallery of Australia, a trophy presented, and monetary support for the schools art department. The girls made traditional designs with lino printmaking techniques in the shapes of tunga baskets. We wish them good luck.
