Alice Guiness – Burndud Ground

Alice Guinness is a Yindjibarndi woman who was born at Goodabinyia. Alice has been painting for many years at art centres across Roebourne. Her work features the Burndud/ Bundut Circle, an important story in Yindjibarndi culture which relates to Birdirra Law. Alice paints the Burndud in different styles and recently has been experimenting with painting the Burndud on paper. 

Banyiji (Pansy) Cheedy on her cousin, Alice:

“Alice started painting before me. She paints the Burndud circle. It’s a dance in our traditions. She does that a lot, in a lot of different styles and colours… The Burndud circle is a story for our law dance. Birdirra Law. It’s a unique law and it’s the only one and it belongs to the Yindjibarndi people. So she does that Burndud circle with that in mind

Banyji (Pansy) Cheedy, 2021.

Jean Norman – My Ngurra

Jean is a Yindjibarndi Elder who paints with Juluwarlu. Jean often paints native flowers on her Ngurra (Country). After the rain I love to go out on Ngurra (Country) and see all the beautiful native flowers blooming across the land.

I don’t see as many animals anymore that’s why they are not in my paintings. Because I paint what I see. Especially when you go out bush you don’t see anything, when we were little kids we would see plenty.

Papulankutja Artists

This painting is of a popular tjukurrpa story of seven sisters being chased through the desert by one cheeky, lusty man, Wati Nyiru. Many things happen to these women as they travel through country. Eventually they rise up into the sky and form the Peliades, a group of seven stars seen in the southern skies. This painting takes place at Kurualya, a sacred place for women in Anmanari’s country south of Papulankutja Blackstone. Wati Nyiru was following them, disguising himself as a quandong tree, and then a yirli fig, and then a carpet snake, spying on them as they made camp, building wiltjas and wind breaks and digging for food.

Kings Pit

King’s pit is in Soloman Mine in Yindjibarndi Country. This painting here is the process of rehabilitating after all the iron ore has been mined. On the top right you can see the stockpiles of dirt they are bringing back to the deep areas so they can try and put the pit back to the way it was when they came. That background hill with the little line on the right top corner is the communication tower and from that hill you can see Wittenoom.
