Introducing the limited edition Manta Pilti Cabinet, the result of a stunning collaboration between Tanya Singer and Trent Jansen. This unique piece of furniture not only showcases their exceptional craftsmanship but also serves as a powerful symbol of the pressing issue of human-induced climate change in the remote region of Indulkana, South Australia. For generations, seasonal patterns of plants and animals have sustained life in Indulkana, guiding food collection, hunting, and cultural practices. As the climate changes, these relationships are disrupted. The dry cracked sandy soil caused by increased heat and reduced rainfall are elements which inspired Tanya and Trent’s furniture collection. They have used the motif of cracking sand and the ever dwindling Parakeelya flower to convey this important narrative. Supporting Partners of the Manta Pilti collection are Art Bank, Australia Council for the Arts, Arts South Australia, Melbourne Design Week, UNSW Sydney, Maruku Arts and MAST. Major Partners are American Hardwood Export Council and Fremantle Arts Centre.
