Anangu Aunties Artwork

Size: W122cm x H90cm

These Anangu artists I met at a cultural festival at the base of Uluru, gave me permission to paint them, absorbed in their own beautiful works on canvas spread out on the red ground. These women are creating contemporary work on Country, continuing practices that connect them to place and culture over thousands of years. The title respectfully references the Aṉangu people, the Traditional Owners who live in the Mutitjulu community located behind Uluru. The artwork honours the deep tradition of storytelling through art while celebrating new connections and the enduring inspiration of Country.
