Travelling to Alice Springs

$800.00

People travelling to Alice Springs. Tourists in their cars, visiting the Hermannsburg historic precinct. Me, my mother and grandmother in another car driving back to Alice Springs after visiting family. 

All these cars travelling from Hermannsburg to Alice Springs. Those houses are at Hermannsburg sandhill camp, we used to live out in that area with my mother and grandmother. 

Born in Mparntwe (Alice Springs), Ingrid Williams is the granddaughter of established artist Marjorie Williams. Under her guidance, Ingrid began painting at Tangentyere Artists in 2021. Since that time, Ingrid has grown her practice to include painting, ceramics and jewellery. Ingrid paints figurative works which tell stories about Hermannsburg, the community where her mother was born. Within a year of working at the Tangentyere Artists studio, Ingrid began to translate these stories to clay. Her ceramic depiction of cars on their way to a footy match was exhibited at Desert Mob, 2023 and acquired by Artbank on the opening night. Ingrid was also selected as a finalist in the National Emerging Art Prize for her 12-piece ceramic work, Hermannsburg, which featured clouds, houses and cars in a dynamic scene.
