Artist Information
The Pwerle sisters – Molly, Emily and Gayla and their three daughters Annie, Susan and Jessie Pitjara Hunter produce a vast body of work celebrating their beliefs and stories associated with ceremonies. Their paintings interpret Awelye (women’s laws/business) and all it symbolises during the spiritual women’s ceremonies. The Pwerle women produce vibrant works honouring their bush foods in particular the desert raisin and wild orange while the daughters celebrate the red-bud mallee tree and the honey grevillea and the sustenance it has provided to the Alyawarre people for generations. These works of art are also representations of body and ceremonial adornments.
