Desert Country Desert Country This trail is intended as a guide for young people and families as they enjoy the exhibition. PaPunya Tula arTisTs Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri c.1934–2002, Anmatyerre people, Northern Territory Clifford Possum Tjapaltjarri was one of Australia’s greatest artists. His epic paintings depicted stories about his country, weaving together Aboriginal law and ceremony, vitally important to social cohesion and survival. As a member of the famous Papunya Tula Artists, Clifford revealed through painting the stories that had once only existed briefly as markings in the sand. His purpose was to ensure the survival of Aboriginal law and connection with country. This painting depicts men and women’s ceremonies for the site of Yinyalingi, located in the heart of the artist’s ancestral homeland. Delicate concentric circles depict the underground nests of honey ants (a delicacy among desert people), excavated by an ancestral woman. Around the sides are her belt and digging stick as well as objects related to men’s ceremony. FIND: Can you find other objects important to hunting Honey Ant Ceremony and survival?

Paruku depicts a lake and is one of Rover Thomas’s great masterpieces, a sophisticated representation of the power and significance of meeting places.

WarlayirTi arTisTs Tjumpo Tjapanangka c.1929–2007, Kukatja/Pintupi people, Western Australia This Dreaming story concerns the travels of two brothers, often called two goannas, whose actions create the features of the landscape. Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay) tells a story of the two goanna men’s search for bush food as they move from waterhole to waterhole. The waterholes are represented by the three small yellow circles. A commonly told story from the region, the two goanna men start a fire to flush out prey, but the fire blazes destructively out of control. The hills near Wilkinkarra are burnt by the fire and fall into the lake, creating today’s claypan. DESCRIBE: What colours can you find in this painting?

The artist used a single bamboo skewer to create each dot with fine detail, which gives the overall effect of a subtly textured, shimmering surface. The artist shares her Bush Plum Dreaming with her older sisters, senior custodians of the cultural knowledge for their country. This work is also about memory, a landscape of observation and sensory perceptions, and is a sophisticated representation of the flora, geographical and sacred sites related to the Bush Plum.

  • Aboriginal Art Galleries
    ABORIGINAL ART GALLERIES MITJILI NAPURRULA Mitjili Napurrula was born in Ikuntji (Haasts Bluff) after her mother Tjunkayi Napaltjarri, came in from the desert with her mother, a Pintupi/Luritja woman from Yumari. Dispossession and drought were only two of the factors that led to a series of migrations from the desert to mission or government settlements in the mid-twentieth century. Following the outstation movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s, Aboriginal communities sprang up throughout the region, each home to a distinctive art movement. Despite being the first ration depot in the region, Ikuntji was one of the last communities from which this widespread renaissance of cultural affirmation emerged. Like many of her generation, Napurrula witnessed the genesis of the Papunya Tula art movement and the artistic contribution made by members of her immediate family. Tjunkayi Napaltjarri and her sister Wintjiya made small craft items for Papunya Tula Artists. Napurrula’s brother, Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula, was one of the founding members of the Papunya Tula Artists cooperative. Napurrula and Tjupurrula had the same father, Tupa Tjakamarra, from whom they inherited the right to paint works related to Ilyingaungau in the Gibson Desert. This site, south of Walungurru (Kintore), some 520 kilometres west of Mparntwe (Alice Springs), is where the artist’s Mutikatjirri ancestors assembled their kulata (spears) for a conflict with the Tjukula men. Allusive works that refer to the straightening of kulata by Tjupurrula are among the landmark paintings of the movement’s 30-year history. The bold use of colour demonstrates the artist’s confidence in her individual artistic vision within a family of superlative artists – and the cultural heritage that continues to inform the myriad expressions of Western Desert artists.
