Kathleen Nanima Rambler – Arlweye Ampere (My Fathers Country)

I paint the country of my Father and Mother and where they grew up, near Barrow Creek.

This is the painting of my Father’s country, where I grew up. When we would go hunting, we always climbed those hills. We would take the kids hunting too and take photos of the hills.

I use bright colours and beautiful attention to detail expresses the love and joy that I have for the country closest to my heart.

The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr (dreaming stories). The artists paint their country where those stories sit.

Dimensions: 15 x 30 cm Lino Print – Sky Blue/Red Dirt S/H250gsm

Elizabeth Ngwarraye Bonney – Tijamburra, My Homeland

Triptych – 3 Panels 61 x 61.

My homeland is Tijamburra, Canteen Creek, I love that country, it is my Grandmother’s country and it is the only country that I paint. It is fresh country after the rain and it is always plentiful with bush tucker and bush medicine. There are many soakages (places to find water) and we have names for all of them. You can sit there in the shade of the big trees and I love to camp there, the little children in my family never want to leave and want to swim all day in the cool big swamps

Maisie Petyarre Bundey – Artna Tyap (Bush Tucker)

Maisie paints the bush tucker found in her country, the area that surrounds Boundary Bore in the Utopia homelands. She paints bush plums, bush bananas, bush potatoes and bush medicine plants. The main motif which recurs often in Maisie artworks is a full coolamon.

When she paints she always speaks of gathering and hunting on her country – long way from here, long time ago, filling up coolamons with bush potato, bush banana, goanna and porcupine. Maisie always says her family are happy ones and healthy ones.

Susan Ngwarraye Philomac – Spring Creek

Donkeys and horses would come and drink from the water at Spring Creek on my father’s country. We would put a bucket in the sand we would filter the water so we could drink it. When I was young girl we would go to Canteen Creek following the track along the hills, we would hunt turkey, emus and kangaroo and we would cut the bark and collect the sap from the sugar bag trees. `

Vicky Pula Holmes – Awangk Penh Kwaty – (Hunting After Rain)

After big rain the land is covered in flowers. I like to go collect bush flowers to make bush medicine for my family. I look for goanna too and bush bananas. These are my favourite.
