story
This painting depicts a major women´s ceremonial site known as Mina Mina, the artist´s custodial country, located near Lake Mackay in the Tanami Desert, north of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. During the Dreaming, Ancestral women of the Napangardi and Napanangka Sub-section groups (aunt/niece relationship, in which knowledge is passed from one to the other) gathered to collect ceremonial digging sticks (kurduru) that had emerged from the ground. They then proceeded east, performing rituals of song and dance, to the place known as Jankinyi. A large belt of Eucalyptus trees (Casuarina Decaisneana) now stand where these digging sticks once were.
To portray her Mina Mina, the artist has created a striking check-like design in which white plays across the black background, intersecting and weaving, pulling and pushing the eye from one point to the next the painting can be read like a map through which the viewer moves; across the terrain and around the water soakages of Mina Mina; through the Spinifex clumps and over the sandhills. The viewer is constantly engaged, continually active while reading this work. |
