5 Waringarri Aboriginal Arts Jinamoom is the area of the Keep River as it flows through the gorge country. During the wet season it is joined by little floodwater creeks and the open country becomes marshy. There are lots of new grasses and spinifex growing and you can see the spirit of country as it moves across the land with the wind in the grasses. Peggy Griffiths arts practice reflects her strong commitment to her Miriwoong culture. Her elegant imagery resonates with references to cultural performance of which she is a renowned dancer. The winding of waterways are the sinuous and graceful body movements of a dancer; the outlining dotting reflects a performer s body painting. Her works document the traditional country of her mother and grandfather and her recent works capture the movement of wind through the spinifex country which for the artist is evidence that the spirit of culture is alive.

6 Waringarri Aboriginal Arts In this print the artist has depicted her favourite bush tucker: bush peanuts and bush plum. Bush peanuts are found all year round while bush plum is abundant in the wet season. Gloria fondly remembers gathering these bush tuckers when she was a young girl. You had to be careful with bush peanut as the outside skin was very prickly and could make you itch. As a younger emerging artist at Waringarri Aboriginal Arts Gloria Mengil is engaging with the cultural traditions of representing country through repetition as she develops a cultural dialogue and connection between herself and the country she is painting. Her motifs of circular forms and moving lines present her families traditional country.

12 Tjanpi Desert Weavers My Country Dallas Smythe Grass, raffia and yarn sculpture 200 x 60 x 60 cm EXHAA15-28 $3,720 In my country, the Ngaanyatjarra Lands, there are different types of goanna; tirnka, ( sand goanna) ngirntaka ( perentie goanna) and mulurmaru ( black goanna). I have been hunting the ngirntaka for a long time, I learnt from my Grandmother, and when we go out bush my husband teaches my son. We look for the tracks of goanna hand print and the marks left from the movement of the goanna tail in the sand. Not far from my sisters birth place at Giles Creek, there is a waterhole where the ngirntaka tells a story of how he turned into a water snake, this story has been passed down from generation to generation and keeps me connected to my country.
