Across the Desert by Judith Ryan is a lavish 2009 first-edition picture book that maps Australia’s batik art movement through vivid cloth and story. National Gallery of Victoria curator Ryan follows Indigenous women artists as they translate desert land, flora and fauna into glowing textiles, bridging ancient tradition and contemporary practice.

The 168-page paperback pairs large colour plates with concise narrative, inviting young adults, adults and collectors to explore cultural heritage stitch by stitch. First-edition status and pristine condition make this volume a quiet gem for anyone interested in Australian, Indigenous or textile art.
