Adamson Seven Sisters Scarf

This organic cotton scarf features a striking design by Indigenous Australian artist Andrea Mimpitja Adamson, inspired by the ancient Seven Sisters Dreaming story. As the sisters fled from Wati Nyiru, they shaped the landscape—creating a rock hole that tunneled beneath a hill and emerged on the other side. The sisters dove into the water and ascended into the sky, with Wati Nyiru still in pursuit. Today, this epic story is written in the stars, with Wati Nyiru visible to the south of the Pleiades, eternally chasing the sisters across the sky. The artwork captures the power and beauty of this celestial tale.

Dimensions: 78.7" x 27.6"

About the Artist:

Andrea Mimpitja Adamson, born in 1981 in Amata on the APY Lands of South Australia, is a Pitjantjatjara artist now based in Alice Springs. Coming from a distinguished artistic family—her grandfather was renowned painter Tiger Palpatja and her aunt, Rini Tiger—Andrea carries a deep cultural and creative legacy. She began painting in her late teens, drawing inspiration from the storytelling traditions of her community and the landscapes of her Country. Andrea is best known for her vibrant depictions of the Seven Sisters Tjukurrpa (Creation Story), a powerful ancestral narrative in which the sisters, pursued by Wati Nyiru, shape the land and sky as they flee. Her richly coloured, symbol-laden works often include her lucky number three, hidden within each piece. Through her art, Andrea shares the enduring presence of her culture and keeps the Tjukurrpa strong for future generations.
