Puna Yanima Antara 2016 ink and acrylic on paper 150 x 150 cm Antara is an important women’s ceremonial site near the Mimili community, located in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yunkunyjatjara (APY) Lands of remote central Australia. Many of the senior women at Mimili Maku Arts represent Antara and its significant Maku (witchetty grub) Tjukurpa in their paintings. Puna Yanima has utilised the immediacy and loose fluidity of ink on paper to map the ngura (country) of this sacred place, marking its tjukula (rockholes), apu and murpu (rocks and mountains).
