Explication de l’œuvre :

This is the cave of Minyma Makuli), also known as Minyma Malilu) - minyma nymupu - she was
cripped and had to crawl on her hands and knees across the ground. She dug out this cave with the piti (wooden bowl), to be her big wiltja (shelter). She camped here with her kungkawara kutjara, two daughters, young women. One evening the girls returned from hunting with kuku pulka (large game), she wondered how they got it, and where it had come from? Two men had given it to the girls!

Her girls left her alone for a long time and didn't help her, poor thing, poor old weak woman, so she decided to follow them. She crawled after them, wanatjara anu, using a walking stick, following their tracks northwest back to the hills. When she reached their camp the men hit and killed her.

They had called the girls in marriage and took them away. This is Carolanne's grandmother's country. The underground cave at Kanypi is a permanent water supply. Carolanne is from Fregon on the *APY Lands. Precise, fine brushwork are characteristics of her work. Carolanne is a keen story teller and combining a traditional style with a contemporary edge to her work, reflects a keen sense of place retaining the importance of traditional country as inspiration for her work. *Anangu Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands, in the far north-west of South Australia

The place where many white trees are growing, many white marble gums. The place where women came turned into the white marble gums on the sand dune south of Watarru; this is a tjukurpa story. So this is Mamungari’nya where lots of little gum saplings and emu bush grow. This is a place of claypans.’ This is a women's site south
west of Watarru.

Explications de l'œuvre :

Taylor (1940) began painting at the Kaltjiti Arts centre in 2009. It was soon recognised that his paintings contained a strong representation of Tribal knowledge. His painting refers to the creation stories or Tjukurpa associated with the traditional homelands of his mother and father. An expert craftsman, Taylor continues to make the traditional hunting weapons of aboriginal men, particularly kulata (spears) and kulata miru (spear throwers).
Malara is the place of the Wanampi Tjukurpa - Water Serpent Dreaming - in the far west of the APY Lands. Taylor was born at this important site making the Malara Wanampi his Tjukurpa totemic ancestor. Taylor is Nguraritja, a traditional custodian of this story. Taylor explains: “That Wanampi came from Malara. He went to Kunytjanu near Pipalyatjara. From Kunytjanu that Wanampi kept walking, walking. He came to Tjuntun (Kutjupa  – different to Tjuntun at Fregon.) near Watarru. He threw one spear and made that rockhole. He went right in that rockhole and then he travelled back to Malara."
Taylor is an important senior tribesman and he is a recognised custodian of traditional Aboriginal law and culture. He has never married and his disposition reflects a quiet dignity of a senior man. Taylor holds a responsibility as uncle to his two sisters’ children.
