Rikki Tanika Dank: Biggabudgi
Named after the fruit of a wide-leaved tree native to Australia, this artwork is made from a silk scarf, dyed with natural pigments. Rikki Tanika Dank is a Gudanji and Wakaja woman from Borroloola, a remote community in Australia’s Northern Territory. The process of dyeing the silks takes several hours and is a tradition passed down from Dank’s mother and grandmother. This particular work was made by four generations of the artists’ family: herself alongside her grandmother, mother, and daughter in a collaborative act that encompasses the spirit of the artwork. It is named after a tree, which is known locally as the biggabudgi. The NFT has been animated to emphasis the patterns of the leaves and fruit, which are left on the scarves through the dyeing process.
