Sonja http://www.utopianaboriginalart.com.au In her paintings, Pitjara Hunter symbolizes all that is associated with Awely - the decorated torsos of the women the women's ceremonial sites or dreaming places where women are gathered and the other representations of the ceremony. The result is a myriad of expertly executed dots forming an abstract whole therefore she takes months to complete her larger more complex works. Awely refers to the ceremonial world of women, women’s social structure and ritual knowledge and is commonly known as women’s business. It also includes women’s ceremonial body designs. It is this system of beliefs which form the basis of women’s law, social structure, kinship and governance. This set of beliefs maintains order within the community Country tag:www.utopianaboriginalart.com.au,2009:/aboriginal_art//4.375 2009-10-12T06:47:16Z 2010-05-28T04:58:29Z Lucky Kngwarreye Morton was born in 1949 on MacDonald Downs and is the daughter of artist and senior boss woman Mary Kemarre Morton and Billy Stockman Morton (deceased) the renowned sculptor.

Sonja http://www.utopianaboriginalart.com.au This painting relates to the Honey Ant Ancestor. The Honey Ant is one of the main Dreamings of the women of the Eastern Desert, Central Australia and is of symbolic importance as it relates to a number of sacred sites. The Honey Ant is considered to be one of the delicacies of the desert dwellers of Central Australia. The women search the scrublands for their nests and then dig holes to extract them - their bodies swollen with honey. The collection of this and other forms of bush tucker has been handed down from generation to generation. Audrey Kngwarreye Morton’s painting represents a mass of Honey Ant nests with chambers and galleries radiating out from the centre. It also represents the markings on the bodies of the Honey Ants (which are like those of the nest). Audrey overlays her coloured topographical background with fine white markings made with the gutta-nib instrument (used in batik-making).

They made history in October 1984 when they had first contact with ‘the outside world and Europeans’ for the first time. Walala paints the Tingari Cycle, which is a series of sacred and secret songlines. These Tingari are associated with his Dreaming sites at Marua, Mintarnpi, Wanapatangu, Minna Minna, Naami, Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay) and Yarrawangu, which are all in the Gibson Desert, Western Australia. These were some of the places where the Tingari Ancestors stopped for ceremonies during their travels across the country.
