WANAMPI TJUKURPA / PILTATI, 2023
APY Adelaide Studio cat. 237-22AS
acrylic on linen
181 x 197 cm
This painting depicts “The story of two snake brothers and their wives, who are sisters, that lived near Piltati, west of Amata. Every day the women went out hunting, and every evening they bought home kuka (meat for cooking) for the men, who didn’t do anything but perform ceremonies. After a while the sisters became annoyed at the men’s laziness and decided to eat all the food they caught, leaving the men to fend for themselves. The snake brothers were angry, and decided to punish the women for their insubordination. After lots of talking, the brothers agreed to change themselves into a Wanampi (a giant mythical water serpent, which also had the power to travel above and below ground) and play a practical joke upon the women. They went to a marsupial rat hole where the women had been digging and imitated the tracks of a large snake by rubbing the back of a spear thrower on the ground. Then they entered the hole, and one of them left out enough of his tail for the women to see…”

NO SMOOTH SAILING, 2024
painted ceramics and shellwork 60 x 47 cm (irregular)
Duncan Campbell (1726-1803) was the influential lynchpin and overseer of the Thames convict prison hulks at Woolwich, and the transportation to Australia between 1776-1801.
His niece, Elizabeth Betham was married to Captain William Bligh, who regularly sailed on Campbell’s ships to Jamaica, to Campbell’s family sugar and rum estate called ‘Saltspring’.
His two ships Justitia and Censor were used as hulks. Campbell being a private contractor was subject to little regulation... reports of bad food, hulk fever, and few religious services provided, in 1778 one in four prisoners were dying. In 1802 his contract was not renewed. The system moved to more direct government control but continued till 1857!

LUPULNGA , 2024
A rockhole situated south of the Kintore Community Papunya Tula Artists cat. WN2402157
acrylic on Belgian linen 91 x 61 cm
This painting depicts designs associated with the site of Lupulnga, a rockhole situated south of the Kintore Community. The Peewee (Magpie-lark) Dreaming is associated with this site. Durimg ancestral times a group of women visited this site holding ceremonies associated with the area, before continuing their travels north to Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald), and later Kintore. As they travelled they gathered large quantities of the edible fruit known as pura (also known in Pintupi as pintalypa) or bush tomato from the small shrub Solanum chippendalei depicted in the work by the smaller circles. This fruit is the size of a small apricot and, after the seeds have been removed, can be stored for long periods by halving the fruit and skewering them onto a stick.
An exhibition of Winnie Nakamarra’s work will be on view mid-July 2024

acrylic on Belgian linen 122 x 61 cm (each)
These paintings depict designs associated with the rockhole site of Tjutalpi, east of the Kiwirrkura community - the artist’s mother’ country, and travels of minyma kutcharra (two women). During their travels they gathered a vriety of bush foods including pura or bush tomatoes (Solanum chippendalei) and edible berries known as Yalkatjirri. These berries are ground into a paste and cooked in the hot ashes to form a type of damper. The roundels in the works represent the soakage waters found at this site.
An exhibition of Mary Napangati’s work will be on view mid-July 2024

ETERNAL RHYTHMS, 2024
acrylic on canvas
213 x 152 cm
“I have long been fascinated by why we gravitate to specific landscapes and places. Why some places have more of a magnetic pull than others, and why some landscapes can leave you with an uneasy discomfort. I’ve experienced both often; it’s an awareness that has been with me for as long as I can remember. As a child. I still recall the first time my Mum showed me a traditional Chinese Shan Shui painting. The name Shan Shui literally translates to ‘mountain-water-picture.”
Its atmospheric mountainous layers and waterway instantly created a calm within me, a memory that is rekindled whenever I’m back in Tasmania’s remote Southwest.
Mountains and water have been an enduring feature of my work, especially since the loss of my sister and now, more recently, my beautiful and inspiring Mum. Through love and grief, I returned my thoughts to the ancient Celery Top Islands, which heralded a strength and resonance befitting of love, loss, and renewal. A place to honour nature’s elements and forces, awaken and realign us - a place to feel the presence of nature and those we’ve lost.”

WARLIMPIRRNGA TJAPALTJARRI
TINGARI AT MARAWA, 2002
PAPUNYA TULA ARTISTS cat. WT0203219
acrylic on Belgian linen
182 x 152 cm
When Warlimpirrnga Tjapaltjarri arrived in the settlement at Kiwirrkura (a remote community near the Pollock Hills in Western Australia) in 1984, having led his small family group (the Pintupi 9) out of the desert for the last time, he not only made international and world headlines as one of “the last uncontacted nomadic tribesman of the world”, but was subsequenlty catapulted into a vastly different way of life. His Pintupi relatives had almost all been bought out of the Gibson Desert decades earlier by the infamous ‘Pintubi Patrols’, settling in Ilkuntji and Papunya. Pintupi men had a profound influence on the emergence of Western Desert art in papunya from the early 1970s., with artists such as Ronnie Tjampitjinpa, Uta Uta Tjangala and Antatjari Tjakamarra presenting their scared stories of Tingari creation of the natural landscape and advocating for their people’s return to country (leading to the establishment of Kintore and Kiwirrkura). These songlines were graudually adapted from and reflected the potency of ritual sand drawings and incised objects. On the most literal level of interpretation, Marawa, like many other Western Desert paintings, is a “map”, a topographical aerial view of ancestral lands.
