Bush Pipe
This pipe has been hand carved from Moyi (green plum tree), and hollowed out using a burning hot wire. Finished using modern acrylic paints. Cone piece is either from a discarded rifle case, or other similar round tube.
Wood carving has always been part of Aboriginal culture and Djilpin artists continue this tradition. Men carved wood for many purposes – tools for hunting or gathering food, axes and knives for building shelters, spears and clubs for protection of their lives and territory, objects for ceremony and to mark sacred sites.
Hunting implements include the boomerang, woomera and spear. The woomera is a lever which helps to increase the speed and distance the spear travels. Clapsticks are used as percussion instruments by the Songmen to accompany dancing along with the didgeridoo (mago).
As well as the more functional carvings, artists portray animals and birds in wood, and these carvings are often painted. Ceremonial carvings include spirit creatures including mukuy (devil devils) and mimi.
Some fine mimi figures have been cast in bronze.

Toyota & Family by Rona Rubuntja
Family going to a waterhole for swimming in the back of the ute! Sometime we go to Glen Helen in Toyota for swimming and fishing. I love to eat fish, also kangaroo we cook em on the fire and eat them all. When the sun was getting too hot, we filled that Toyota up and go, $100 for diesel!. Everyone is happy when we go, kids racing, driving in the water. All the babies fall asleep in the car, we full of fish, tired, happy.

Thepa, kwatja-alka Ilumpa by V.Davis
Thepa, kwatja-alka Ilumpa, (Birds, water and ghost gums)
It’s the desert with the white gum tree, it’s called ilumpa (ghost gum). The place is on my Grandfather’s country, it’s called inarnta. After the rain the flowers and trees and all grow. The birds are happy to fly around, looking for some insects. And the goannas, they come out too. The bushflowers, they bloom. The cockies are happy, after the rain they get more of them seeds.
– Kumantjai V Davis
She was a beautiful potter and painter, a dedicated Arts Worker and a patient diplomat in the studio. She taught us many things. A great storyteller and amazing linguist in both Western Arrarnta and English. Everyone trusted her with their words. We had good times with her. She was hard working, wise and always told us to look after our young families. This T’shirt was created in memory of her.
