25.01.2022 New black and white paintings in the studio by Marjorie Spencer Nungarai. Marjorie Paints the bush onion dreaming ( Cyperus bulbosus Vahl )The painting represents the grass of the Bush onion (Yalke) as its spreads creating a flower pattern along dry river beds in Central Australia. When the grass of the bush onion has dried out, the Warlpiri women must skilfully dig out the onion which is eaten raw or cooked in the hot sand by the fire. The Bush onion is of significance to Aboriginal people who own this dreaming and totem and can only be collected according to law. The women pay homage to the spirit of the bush onion in their ceremonies. Work in progress is 180 x 120 cm other paintings pictured are 30 x 30 cm. https://www.jilaarts.com.au/

02.01.2022 Some new pieces added to our website, the depth in colour, design and pattern tell the real story. Joylene Reid Napangarti is a Pintupi woman from Walungurru (Kintore), and area to the west of Alice Springs. These paintings shows the song lines or travel lines of the tingari, the desert’s ancient, creational figures, moving through the countryside near Joylene’s home of Tjukurla. Rockhole and ceremony sites of the area. Joylene’s choice of colours usually represent the more traditional pigments used for ground designs and body decoration. Her sense of design and movement shows the close association between painted images and the physical landscape. Check them out at https://www.jilaarts.com.au/
