Artist Information
Bush Animals
Local artists often paint richly detailed bush scenes. These aerial views of the bush are densely worked with detailed drawings of meandering trails of animals and people with the focus on ceremonial sites, designs and ritual attire. In 1989, Janice Kngwarreye and her sisters Lucky Kngwarreye began to paint camp scenes. Here Janice depicts local bush animals in her country.
My Grandfather’s story
This painting depicts a traumatic episode in the history of her country which was passed down to her by her grandfather. Known as the Coniston Massacre of 1928 it occurred in late August when Mounted Constable William Murray led a party of men who killed up to 70 people in a nine-day shooting spree.
Honey Ant Dreaming
Her honey ant paintings are characterised by an aerial perspective of the hundreds of bloated patterned bellies of the honey ants. The honey ant is considered a delicacy by the Utopian women. The women search the country for the nests of honey ants and then dig holes to extract them. They collect the ants in their coolamons.
