This Aboriginal painting is by Heather Pitjara Corbett. She was born in Alice Springs in 1986 and speaks Alyawarre language.
“I like going hunting for bush tucker and bush medicine flowers. I like to see the different landscapes of this country and watch the seasons change.
The landscape reminds me of my parents and my grandparents. This is where they would hunt too"
The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint ‘altyerr’ dreaming stories, and instead the artists paint their country where those stories sit. The colourful landscapes and mixes of fine dot work result in vibrant artwork.
This painting by Heather shows the layered landscape of Alyawarr, Central Australia. Knowing your country is an important part of living in a remote community like Ampilatwatja. Knowing when and where to go hunting and gathering, knowing where there is 'soakage' (where you can dig for water), travelling with family for ceremonies, and maintaining a connection with the land.
This original Aboriginal artwork will be a stunning addition to your home or office. Enjoy the magic of Aboriginal art now!
This original Aboriginal artwork is from the Artists of of Ampilatwatja
The Artists of Ampilatwatja community was established in 1999, 325km north east of Mparntwe (Alice Springs) in the Northern Territory. Ampilatwatja lies on Aherrenge country, the land of the Alyawarre people.
The work produced by the artists is unique and recognisably distinct from other Aboriginal artistic communities. The paintings pay homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine. They depict the traditional knowledge of dreaming and country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, mountains and sand hills.
In keeping with the religious laws, the artists reveal only a small amount of knowledge to the uninitiated. The information that is held sacred to the artists is concealed from the public and layered underneath the common visual narrative, masked by the delicate layered dots of the painting.
The art centre helps keep culture strong and is proudly an Aboriginal owned and governed corporation which supports ethical practice in the creation and sale of indigenous art.
