Congratulations to Rhonda Sharpe, winner of the WANDJUK MARIKA 3D MEMORIAL AWARD at this year's Telstra NATSIAA.

Rhonda is one of the leading artists at Yarrenyty Arltere Artists from the Larapinta Valley Town Camp in Alice Springs. Rhonda's soft sculpture spirits They Come From No Where were chosen by judges for their vibrancy and quirkiness, and for their ability to resonate with town camp life. 

They Come From No Where

Soft Sculptures, Metal, Blankets & Feathers, 62cm x 80cm x 12cm

"They come from nowhere, these little alien spirits. They all have one name each, Sad, Worried, Frightened and Hopeful.  They don’t have a place they come from but they have a place they want to go to. That’s why I keep sewing them: I’m helping them find a home." - Rhonda Sharpe
