animal people
- Sentience, Reciprocity, Kinship -
A deep knowledge of non-human kin is expressed through these beautiful observations based in daily lived relationship. Others depict Jukurrpa (Dreaming) stories where ancestors take animal form. These works are ultimately a statement about relationship, based in moral responsibility, appreciation, kinship, respect, care and the tenets of reciprocity.

western synthesis
We are proud to present this lovely collaboration with Yering Station Art Gallery and Artinterface
Western Synthesis charts Steve Freestone’s ongoing response to the spectacularly sculptural stony landscapes
of Western Australia. The exhibition is also the final chapter of a tetralogy that has included Flinders Ranges, 2016,
Kakadu and the Kimberley, 2017, and The West MacDonnell Ranges and the Centre, 2019.
For this final chapter of an epic series, and to honour Indigenous cultures whose creative engagement with the land has
been an artistic inspiration, Freestone’s paintings are exhibited alongside sculptures by three formidable artistic voices
from First Nation’s communities in Arnhem Land, the Gibson Desert and the Kimberley.
While Freestone’s canvasses reference and extend the European tradition of Australian landscape painting, the
sculptural works by First Nation’s artists carry viewers towards events, mythologies and emotions that lie beneath
the surface and beyond the field of view, and in doing so awaken a different reading of the land.
Lily Karadada, from the Prince Regent River region of Western Australia, brings us Wandjina, a sacred creator being
within the culture of the Kimberley region of Western Australia who gave the Wandjina people their lore.
Eleazer Nangukwirrk from the Maningrida Region, Northern Territory, introduces two Mimih, tall slender, mythological
spirit figures who pre-date humanity and are native to the rock country of western and south western Arnhem Land.
And Pintupi man Walala Tjapaltjari from the Gibson Desert makes visible the Tingari Cycle of sacred mythological songs
associated with his Dreaming sites.
Taken together the four distinct visions that make up Western Synthesis represent an enriched and expansive
understanding and engagement with the land. - Dr Ewen Jarvis, Curator, Yering Station Art Gallery

Warlukurlangu Artists is a prolific and successful Aboriginal-owned art centre in Central Australia and has work in collections across Australia and internationally. The principle aim of the art centre is to share Warlpiri culture and to increase awareness about Aboriginal culture in general. Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Association is the guardian of the Jukurrpa, the law and culture of the Warlpiri and Anmatyerre people living at Yuendumu.
These acrylic paintings, as a collection, are a powerful tool of contemporary artistic expression, demonstrating diverse and collaborative methodology, and the artist’s ability to capture the vitality of Jukurrpa and its essential, vital integration with country. The artists’ Jukurrpa stories are vast in time and space, yet simultaneously acute, personal and immediate.
