Buy beautiful Aboriginal Artwork from Bits of Australia Sydney.
This painting by Taralyn Pitjara Morton 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 is my country, my view of country."
The community of Ampilatwatja made a conscious decision not to paint altyerr (dreaming stories). The artists paint their country where those stories sit.
This original Aboriginal artwork will make a luxury Australian gift for birthdays, Christmas and as a wedding or anniversary present.
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.
