ERNABELLA ARTS – ABOUT PLACE Artitja Fine Art Gallery is delighted to be a partner Gallery with Ernabella Arts in bringing the art to the city from this remote location. This special collection of paintings from the art centre from the Anangu people of the Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara language groups (APY lands) has been selected by Artitja Fine Art Gallery Director Anna Kanaris.

Ernabella Arts was established in 1937 as part of a Presbyterian Mission Pukatja and was the first permanent settlement on the APY Lands. In 1948 a craft room was established in which hand loomed woven fabrics, hand pulled and knotted floor rugs had a unique pattern called ‘walka’. Walka became what could be deemed a ‘signature’ design of Ernabella.

More recently the Senior women moved away from the walka design of the early days to concentrate on depicting their sacred stories of country and law, or their ‘Tjukurpa’, creating a reputation for innovation and adaptability through welcoming and adapting their knowledge and practice to different mediums since the craft room began.

Today it is a varied group of artists working through the centre, and it is a mix of young and old, men and women. There are very senior Pitjantjatjara and Yankunytjatjara men including NATSIAA award finalists and winners. The members of Ernabella Arts are always reinvigorating their centre, seeing it through its evolution from the first incarnation as a craft room, into a culturally strong contemporary art centre.

Ernabella Arts is an Aboriginal owned and run corporation which promotes and supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of Indigenous art. In the words of the community “Ernabella Arts is a place where we senior women and men and young women and men practice and develop our art, in order to sustain, support and promote our cultural heritage, and to improve the lifestyle of our Community’s members” Information provided in association with Ernabella Arts ©

ELIZABETH DUNN

Piltati – Elizabeth Dunn’s Story 180x100cm ART13020ED

Two brothers were married to two sisters and they all lived together. One day the two men go out hunting, looking for malu (kangaroo). They travel everywhere and find nothing. They start to worry. “What are we going to do, there is no meat on this land? One brother says “maybe we should turn into something?”. They start to think about what they should turn into. “Maybe firewood?” “No, the firewood burns”. “Maybe emu or a bird?” “No, people eat them”. They do a lot of talking and decide they should turn into Wanampi – rainbow serpents. A lot of smoke starts to come out of the ground, it is very scary and then the men become Wanampi. They travel into the land, towards a rockhole.

Meanwhile the two women are waiting for their husbands to return from their hunting trip. They wait a very long time. They keep going on with their lives, collecting bush tucker, waiting… but the men never came back. So they decide to set out to find their husbands.

One day, they come across a hole in the ground. They start digging. Digging, digging, digging, they follow the tunnel inside the ground. They are so frantically digging they accidently hit one of the Wanampi in the back. The Wanampi chase the ladies and eat one them, one women gets away. Now, the Wanampi still live in the waterhole called Piltati. The Wanampi still live there today and provide rain for the bush tucker to grow and provide meat on the land. Piltati is Elizabeth’s great‐ grandfather’s country and her dreaming story. © Elizabeth Dunn/Ernabella Arts

IMITJALA PANTJITI LEWIS

There are many stories about the two sisters (Minyma Kutjara). This part of the story is significant to the women of Ernabella. There was a gathering of minyma mingkiri (mouse women) at a hill called Yunanpa, which is near Ngarutjara (to the north of Ernabella). They are all collecting

bushfoods together when the two sisters decide to go travelling. They travel to several water places to the north and east of Ernabella including Alalka. They keep going until they get to Wamitjara, a waterhole near Kenmore park. Here they come across a man sleeping. They hit him over the head with their wana (digging stick) and knock him unconscious. Then they tie up his arms and legs and head towards Alice Springs, carrying him between them. They sing and dance sacred women’s stories all the way.

They leave him at Stuart’s Well, and continue on to Alice Springs to meet up with a large group of women. © Imitjala Pantjiti Lewis/Ernabella Arts

Tjukula/Waterholes 76x76cm ART10120TK

For the Pitjantjatjara people living in the desert, knowledge of their water sources was critical to their survival. This resulted in an intimate understanding of the landscape which continues today. Deep familiarity with the topography of their country and the way rain would interact with the land ensured constant sources of water could be found. ‘Tjukula’ means rock holes, which are found with surprising frequency in the Musgrave ranges. Between visits, Anangu (people) would use rocks and spinifex construction to guard these from spoilage by animals and particularly in more recent times, from feral and stock animals, cattle, camels, horses and donkeys.
