This remarkable collection showcases artworks that celebrate the rich cultural heritage and storytelling traditions of Warlukurlangu, a long-running Aboriginal-owned art centre in Central Australia. Featuring captivating pieces by Judy Napangardi Watson and Mary Anne Nampijunpa Michaels, the collection invites an exploration of the deep connection between the artists, their land, and its enduring stories.
One of the works in the collection speaks to the tales of the Rainbow Serpent, a being of immense spiritual significance. These ancestral stories describe its movements among the rock holes and waterholes, with the artwork subtly reflecting the powerful presence and mystery of the Rainbow Serpent and the respect it commands in Aboriginal cultures.
Judy Napangardi Watson’s paintings are a highlight of the collection, known for her "dragged dotting" technique that creates vibrant compositions full of life and intricate detail. Her work is often inspired by Mina Mina country, offering a visual language that connects her to the land and its stories. Mary Anne Nampijunpa Michaels draws inspiration from her father’s ancestral tales, translating these profound narratives into globally celebrated art pieces that honor her heritage and the spirituality of the land.
Together, these works invite viewers into a world where art becomes a medium for storytelling, tradition, and the preservation of culture. They serve as timeless reminders of the interconnectedness of people and the places they hold dear.
