Nice article on Australian Aboriginal artist Gloria Petyarre and her work for Hermes.
EVERYTHING takes time at the French luxury firm of Hermes: celebrities wait months for their Birkin and Kelly bags, named for the actresses that inspired them. And so it is 64-year-old Aboriginal artist Gloria Petyarre has waited a long time to receive her own Hermes La Reve de Gloria scarf – the one she created. Three years ago, Petyarre became the first Australian artist invited to design a Hermes scarf. Two years ago, her commission was accepted, and the scarf went on sale this year. A month ago, Petyarre’s dealer, Lauraine Diggins, took four scarves decorated with a bush medicine motif to the artist’s home in Utopia, Northern Territory. – From Sydney Morning Herald
