Explanations of this Aboriginal painting :

Yumari literally means mother in law in Luritja, the language of Pepai's father. A site named Yumari is located west of Walungurru or Kintore (NT) and east of Kiwirrkurra (WA). Pepai visited this site for the first time on a recent trip back to his custodial country in April 2017, having left this region as a 19 year old after his parents passed away. Pepai has spent the last 40 years living and working in Ernabella. On the trip he travelled with fellow Ernabella artist Derek Jungarrayi Thompson to visit sites between Kintore, Kiwirrkurra and Lake Mackay (Wilkinkarra). "I went to that place Kiwirrkurra and I was returning and we came half way to see my father’s country, to see my father’s and grandmother’s country and the big rock hole, it’s really long. I was looking at it and after seeing it I thought, well, I might paint this one. The name of the place is Yumari. That place Yumari. I’m painting that one now."

Explication sur cette œuvre :

There were two sisters who married two brothers and they all lived together. One day the women went wandering and they went such a long way that they forgot about their husbands. Back at the camp, the two husbands were thinking, 'Where are our wives?' and they decided to go looking for them. One brother said to the other, 'What should we become to go looking for them?' and the other brother said 'Why don't we become Rainbow Serpents?' And they travelled in the sky looking down for their wives. Finally they see them hunting for carpet snakes and they put something in the hole where the women were digging. The women find it and then dig another hole and once again the men have put something in there. And this is how the men lure the women back to Piltati where the men make the sisters transform into Wanampi, swallow them and keep them in their throats. All four of them live together in the waterhole and still live there today.

Explanations of this Aboriginal painting :

Ilpili is near Kintore on the way to Mount Leibig and Papunya. This is a minimya kutjarra (two women) story.

Two women are sitting down at a rock hole telling stories. A wati (man) was sitting down behind a puli (boulder) watching the women. This is part of the Seven Sisters story. In April 2017, on a recent journey back to that country, Pepai visited this site and the rock hole.

Explication sur cette œuvre :

Painting by Langaliki Lewis (1973). For the Pitjantjatjara people living in the desert, knowledge of their water sources was critical to their survival.

This is a depiction of the artists' country. The different colours and designs represent variations in the landscape.This resulted in an intimate understanding of the landscape which continues today.

This design is inspired by the red sand dunes that are found throughout the central desert. There is a large red sand dune near Ernabella named Wamikata which is a popular place for looking for maku (witchetty grubs) and for teaching Milpatjunanyi (telling stories in the sand) to children.

Explanations of this Aboriginal painting :

For the Pitjantjatjara people living in the desert, knowledge of their water sources was critical to their survival. This resulted in an intimate understanding of the landscape which continues today. Water is an essential element in the desert. These rock holes were particularly important during the dry season when most of the water holes and creeks dried up. Deep familiarity with the topography of their country and the way rain would interact with the land ensured constant sources of water could be found. Knowledge of rock hole sites is passed on from generation to generation and revered by all Anangu (people).

Tjukula means rock-holes, which are found with surprising frequency in the Musgrave Ranges and country around Ernabella. Between visits, Anangu would use a construction of rocks and spinifex to guard these important water sources from spoilage by feral and stock animals such as cattle, camels, horses and donkeys.

Explanations of this Aboriginal painting :

Fire is very significant in Anangu Pitjantjatjara life. It is the central 'hub' where the people gather; it is used to burn off the land which then brings regeneration. Fire gives protection and warmth during the harsh winters and of course is used for all cooking as well as making weapons. The ash is used for chewing tobacco.

People still use fire today when camping to keep away spirits and 'bush people' who make a habit of taking people and running away with them!

This is the story of the older sister going a long way to get her younger sister and bring her back. They went through many places on the way, but I will only talk about a short bit of their journey at Wingellina. Two women who both came from up high and stayed awhile. They both could see that Docker River was close.

And as they were sitting there they performed ceremony, inma. After they both threw away their weapons, they threw them away. Their head-rings, they threw away their head-rings. Then they got up and left. They went to another place, a hollow called Kantarangkutjara and then they travelled on to Docker River. The story of their travels after Docker River belongs to the Docker River people and others in distant country. My part of the story is short.
