Explications sur cette œuvre :

Jimmy (Mawukura) Nerrimah (1929-2011) is a Walmajarri man. His country is around Wayampajarti, a waterhole in the north western area of the Great Sandy Desert. He was born near a waterhole called Wili, at a swamp called Miyitinynanguwu. He calls the names of places such as Tapu, Kurrjalpartu, Kayalijarti, Kurraly Kurraly, Walypa, Wayampajarti, Kumpujarti and Witikarrijarti as the main waterholes in his country. He grew up in the desert moving around these waterholes. Mawukura was nearly a man when his father brought him to the station country to escape a very large fire that was burning in his country around Tapu. He went through law at Lumpu Lumpu and then went back to the desert with his father in law where he lived for around five more years. The police came around there once he says but they did not pick him up, they gave him food. The police continued on but they were frightened by kalpurtu so they kept gong, straight back to town. The same police picked up Huey Bent and took him to Cherrabun Station not long after.

Explications sur cette œuvre :

This painting by Ngarralja Tommy May (1935) has a song and story, singing and dancing. And Inarra. This is the digging, singing, and dancing that happens when the waterhole is dug, to bring the rain. Its a ceremony for digging the Jila and bringing the rain. On and on, this story has been told and passed on. There's only three of us now, who were taught by the old people, po’bulla (poor fella).

I was born on Christmas Creek Station in 1954 and grew up with my parents until the age of six. My dad was a stockman and my mother worked in the house. I was taken away to GoGo Station where my great-grandmother lived. We moved there with the manager from Christmas Creek. His name was Vic Johns. At GoGo Station my father worked at the stock camp again and my mother in the house. Next we shifted to Cherrabun Station where I went to school in 1965 at the men's quarter. I moved to many different places. From Cherrabun we went back to Christmas Creek. I did my next years at school in Derby and worked at Christmas Creek school as a teacher. In 1984 I was married. I have nine children and nine grandchildren. I started painting after my kids grew up. I paint my grandmother's country and what she has taught me. I paint my style of seasons, bush tucker paintings and my childhood memories of winter rains and cold weather.
This painting evokes the Winter rain, the cold weather and all kinds of birds flying around looking for food. We call that season Yitilarl

Explications sur cette œuvre :

Daisy Japulja (1948) paints images of both Martuwarra (river country) and her parent's Jilji (sand hill) country. In these works Daisy relives the stories told of her mothers and fathers country, and retells those of BushFire Burning. Daisy uses lively colours  and a thick brush to cover the canvas with a confident hand. The beautiful simplicity of her desert images are matched by her bold colour pallet as she portrays important Jila (waterholes) and Jumu (soak waters) from the Great Sandy Desert. Closer to home, her cheeky sense of humour rises from the canvas through her beautiful depictions of river country like Martuwarra in this artwork, and the various animals that dwell within it.

Tjigila Nada Rawlins (1936) is a Wangkajungka woman from the Great Sandy Desert. She is a founding member of Karrayili Adult Education Centre and began painting in 1994 at the Karrayili annexe established in Wangkajungka community, 100km southeast of Fitzroy Crossing. Today Nada paints at Mangkaja Arts. This is Tjigila’s story:
I was born in the Great Sandy Desert. My mother never put me in a blanket. I never saw my father. We walked from the desert along the Canning Stock Route. We walked through Billiluna. One kartiya [European] called Len Brown picked us up early in the morning in a truck. He took us to Moola Bulla. I had a sore on my arm and they took me to the clinic. They gave me lots of needles. When my arm was better I lived with my family at Moola Bulla. Then we walked alongside the river to Christmas Creek. We walked becuase we had no motorcar. We carried our swags on our heads.

This painting is about a Jila called Murtikujarra that is in my country. We used to walk from waterhole to waterhole. The lines represent the sandhill, grass and trees all around the Jila.

Amy is known as an artist at Mangkaja and a traditional owner in native title Customary Law. A widow for many years, and now in her late sixties, Amy has five adult children, grandchildren, and great-grandchildren, and an extended family that resides in Kimberley and Western Desert communities and towns.

This painting is about the bush medicine plant called Rijijirr. It grows around the pirnti (waterhole). We used this plant by squeezing it together and rubbing it under our eyes to keep the flies away and getting a sore eye. We didn’t want any bung eye. Rijiirr helped us for the bush medicine side.
