A Celebration of Country, Culture, and Indigenous Women Artists
The Dry Country Collection marks a powerful new chapter for Kirrikin, bringing together the work of Indigenous women artists whose stories are deeply connected to the Pilbara region of Western Australia.
Grounded in Country and shaped by lived experience, this collection reflects the textures, colours, and quiet strength of the land. Each piece is thoughtfully translated into contemporary design, allowing these stories to be worn with purpose and intention.
Inspired by the Pilbara Landscape
The Pilbara is a place of contrast and resilience. During the dry season, waterholes recede and the land reveals its raw beauty, rich earth tones, textured spinifex, and expansive horizons.
The Dry Country Collection captures this environment through expressive artwork and refined silhouettes. It is a reflection of Country, not just visually, but culturally and spiritually.
Featuring Indigenous Women Artists
At the heart of this collection are three talented First Nations artists, each bringing their own perspective and connection to Country.
Sheryl Hicks
A Ngarlum woman from the Roebourne area, Sheryl Hicks is known for her evocative works Dry Country and Pilbara Wildflowers. Her art captures the essence of the dry season, reflecting waterholes, rivers, and the shifting landscape of her homeland.
Through her work, Sheryl shares the quiet strength and resilience of the Pilbara, expressed through colour, texture, and movement.
Sally White
A proud Banjima woman, Sally White draws inspiration from her deep connection to Country and the stories passed down through generations.
Her work, including themes such as bush tucker and the natural elements that sustain communities, highlights the relationship between people and land. Each piece reflects cultural knowledge, resilience, and connection.
Carol Martin
Carol Martin, a Nanda, Naaguja, and Wajarri woman, brings vibrant energy to the collection through her work Wildflowers in the Pilbara.
Inspired by the land and waterways of her Country, Carol’s art celebrates renewal, growth, and the beauty that emerges across the landscape. Her use of colour and movement reflects both tradition and contemporary expression.
From Artwork to Wearable Design
Each piece in the Dry Country Collection begins with original Indigenous artwork.
Through a considered design process, these works are translated into contemporary garments that balance structure, movement, and form. From sculpted blazers to coordinated sets, the collection allows the artwork to remain the focal point while offering modern, wearable silhouettes.
The result is a collection that feels both expressive and refined.
Designed with Purpose
Kirrikin is more than a fashion label. It is a social enterprise committed to supporting First Nations artists and sharing Indigenous culture with integrity.
A percentage of every sale goes directly back to the artist, ensuring their work is recognised, respected, and economically supported.
When you wear a Kirrikin piece, you are not only investing in design, you are supporting culture, community, and storytelling.
