Keeping Place: Tiwi Art from Ngaruwanajirri

View works on the online gallery

 

Nomad Art is proud to present Keeping Place, Tiwi Art from Ngaruwanajirri Inc, featuring new etchings by Alfonso Puautjimi, Jane Tipuamantumirri, Lorna Kantilla, Lillian Kerinaiua, Alexandrina Kantilla and Ken Wayne Kantilla.

 

This was the first experience for these artists in creating multi plate colour etchings. The print workshop was held inside the wonderful airy workspace called ‘Keeping Place’ at Wurrumiyanga. The artists were assisted by Master printer Basil Hall in April 2021 and the workshop funded by Arts NT.

 

These artists mostly portray  secular aspects of Tiwi life, ranging from quirky images of  houses, cars, planes, and bicycles, to fish and magpie geese but also Jilamara (ceremonial designs). The exhibition also includes works on paper, carvings and silk scarves which shows their diversity of skill and design.

 

Ngaruwanajirri artists are encouraged to explore their individuality and freedom of expression, fostering skills, innovation and sense of belonging. Under a beautiful painted roof of the Keeping Place, artists draw, paint and sculpt. The artists are inspired by their culture and surroundings. As with most Tiwi art the predominant colours used are  natural ochres. White and yellow are collected from two beaches on Bathurst Island and burning the yellow ochre over a fire produces a third colour, red.

 

Ngaruwanajirri (meaning helping one another in Tiwi) was established in 1994 as a cooperative to support Tiwi artists with disabilities and to provide employment for people at Wurrumiyanga.

New Prints from Borroloola

01 July - 31 July 2021

 

This new body of etchings is by Stewart Hoosan, Marjorie Keighran, Jack Green, Nancy McDinny from Waralungku Artists in Borroloola, a remote community on the McArthur River in the Northern Territory in the the Gulf of Carpentaria. It is set in an arresting landscape of rocky hills, cattle-grazed scrub, billabongs, and wide horizons.

 

Waralungku artists continue to produce exciting contemporary art. They have a unique voice and style. Borroloola artists depict the life, history and political issues of the region, as well as the distinctive beauty of the surrounding landscape, flora and fauna. The images are layered with a sense of past histories and continuing connections.

 

This series of etchings was produced during a workshop with Darwin printmaker Jaqueline Gribbin at Borroloola in 2020.
