Lulu Pitjara Teece – Lizards Hiding in the Flowers

The lizards we see them hiding under the flowers waiting to catch the insects. The lizards are geckos that are pale with long tails, they live in a hole that they sleep in overnight and wait until the day to catch the insects which are ants and butterflies. They catch the the insects with their long tongues.

They have poison spray on their tails, they sprayed me once. We don’t catch and eat them because they are poison. They come out in spring when the flowers bloom, they hide underneath.

These finely crafted woven figures represent Mukuy Spirit creatures. The Mukuy belong in Yirritja country called Galanbirni. At night you might hear them playing the Didjeridu. The Mukuy travel around a lot and are often found in sacred places. They are mysterious, sometimes playful and sometimes cheeky characters, often referred to as Devil Devil. Mukuy figures tell the stories of country, culture and spiritual beliefs.

Dilly Bag

Fibre Art is an ancient Aboriginal women’s craft that is still made today using the same techniques as their ancestors. Making fibre art is labour intensive and much care and fine needlework is required to ensure the finished object is both functional and beautiful. Fibre art from Ghunmarn Culture Centre includes dilly bags, floor mats, bush fans, woven creatures found in the landscape, plants such as yams (bush potato), baskets, place mats, and spirit figures such as mermaids and Mukuys. Natural pandanus fibre (Mukarra), is used to make much of the fibre art produced by the artists of Djilpin Arts. Women collect the pandanus by pulling from the top of the pandanus tree, then stripping and drying the leaves before they are dyed with natural bush colour collected from the Beswick surrounds.
