Artwork Story

Kalinykalinypa grows in the sandy soils on the plains. The feathery flowers are picked early in the morning and placed in a billycan of water to create honey water cordial or sucked for their sweet honey dew. More often than not the Anangu moved from flower to flower bending to suck the nectar rather than picking it.

 

This print was made during workshops in collaboration with Cicada Press at the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales.

 

Papunya Tjupi has developed an ongoing working relationship Michael Kempson, the director of Cicada Press since it’s inception in 2007 through several work shops conducted both in Papunya and in Sydney. This relationship is part of a collaborative partnership of artistic and cultural exchange between the university and the Papunya Tjupi Art Centre.

 

Papunya Tjupi Arts is an Aboriginal owned, community-based enterprise, representing over 100 artists. We encourage the sharing of knowledge and skills to foster self-determination and cultural development. This is done through arts practice, community activities, meaningful employment and training opportunities. All proceeds are split between the artists and the funding of further community projects.
