Dalhousie Hot Springs Fabric – Dark Teal and Silver on Copper (Silk) 50cm

This design is about the artist’s grandmother’s place. Her grandmother was born at Dalhousie Hot Springs, in the Witjirra NP, an oasis located at the edge of the Simpson Desert. It is south of Finke and West of Oodnadatta in South Australia.

The blue in the painting refers to the abundance of water at the site and reminds the artist of all her trips back to this oasis.

“We pass through this place every time we visit family and we stop and enjoy the beautiful water.”

Biography:

Hayley Dodd is an Indigenous artist, designer, and model from Geraldton, Western Australia. Her upbringing deeply connects her to her cultural heritage. From the age of five, she lived with her mother's family in Eastern Arrernte Country, specifically between Finke, Oodnadatta, and Titjikala. Her grandmother, a Yangkuntjara woman, instilled in her a strong connection to her language and culture. 

Hayley's education included boarding school at Yirrara College in Alice Springs, where she met her husband, Isiah Jugadai. She has worked in the Titjikala store and currently works in Aged Care in Ikuntji. Inspired by her grandmother's stories and paintings, Hayley also paints her grandmother's Country. She also served as a director of Ikuntji Artists from 2022 to 2023.

Hayley's career as a model began in June 2023 at the Afterpay Australian Fashion Week in Sydney, where she made history. She was the sole artist, designer, and model on the runway wearing her own creation – a stunning gown of her own design. This groundbreaking achievement launched her into the fashion world.

Since then, Hayley's modeling career has flourished. In 2023, she walked the runway for Country to Couture in Darwin (August) and Melbourne Fashion Week (October). In 2024, she participated in a professional photoshoot showcasing the new Ikuntji collection at Publisher Textiles and again modeled at the Country to Couture runway show in August.

Prior to her runway success, Hayley was selected for a modeling training program led by Elaine George, the first Indigenous model to grace the cover of Vogue (1992). This program, designed specifically for models from remote communities, provided valuable insights into the industry and career pathways.

Hayley Dodd has become a trailblazer, inspiring other Indigenous models and community members to embrace visibility and representation. She serves as a powerful role model, demonstrating the potential for Indigenous artists and creatives to achieve success on a national and international stage.
