By KATHERINE SAMPSON Toowoomba is known for its exquisite taste in arts and culture. What you probably didn’t realise we were missing was an Indigenous art gallery, and Doolamai Designs is here to fill that void.
T
he gallery is covertly located right on the corner of Railway and Taylor streets, and houses artworks created by local Indigenous artist Domi Doolamai. When you experience Domi’s work you might be a bit confused by how far the artworks stray from stereotypical Indigenous art; packed full of colour and imagination with strong ties to the Indigenous dreamtime - each piece of work showing immense attention to detail even on the largest canvas. However, Domi’s artworks aren’t restricted to the average canvas, but rather a canvas scroll.
