About Ruth Nungarrayi Spencer

Ruth Nungarrayi Spencer specialises in painting Yanjirlpirra Jukurrpa, or Star Dreaming. Her artwork reflects a Dreaming that forms an important part of her artistic practice.

The design reproduced on this tie brings elements of her artwork into a wearable format. Rich colours and repeated forms stand out against the dark fabric. As a result, the artwork remains the central feature of the accessory.

Star Dreaming tie and cuff links

The tie and cuff links provide a way to wear artwork by an identified Aboriginal artist. Together, they create a coordinated accessory set featuring the same artistic theme.

The polyester tie has a smooth, silky feel. In addition, the detailed printed design gives it a distinctive appearance compared with a conventional patterned tie.

This set may suit customers looking for an Australian gift, an Aboriginal art accessory or a tie featuring work by an identified artist. It can also provide an alternative to standard formal accessories for events, celebrations or other occasions.

The Ruth Spencer Tie Set features Yanjirlpirra Jukurrpa artwork by Ruth Nungarrayi Spencer and connects the product directly with the artist and her work from Yuendumu.
