Weaver Jack - Snake Creek, 2004
Est: $6,000 - $8,000
Weaver Jack was born south of Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert, Western Australia. She was forced to migrate from there in the late 1960s with her husband and children in search of food and water. They eventually settled on the coast at the old La Grange Mission now called Bidyadanga, where she began painting in her senior years. Weaver Jack constructed her paintings by laying down the outlines of her country like a skeleton, then slowly reclaiming her birthright by dotting over it. Each turn of her brush captures the intimacy with which she knows her country and her place in it. In this work, the desert country at Lungurang, her birthplace, is depicted in reds and oranges and intertwined with the rich blues and greens of her adopted coastal home at Bidyadanga. For Weaver, she and her land are inseparable: they are one and the same.

Weaver Jack (1928-2010) Lungarung
Est: $9,000 - $12,000
Lungurang country lies along the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert in Western Australia. This is where the artist was born. She travelled around this place as a young woman walking through the sand dunes (tali) collecting Mayi (bushfood) with her mother. They hunted kuwi, and camped in the area. This took place during the 1930s when they were still desert nomads, before they had clothes. Weaver had two brothers that lived with them there. In this work created in her late 70s, she has depicted a place called Sinpa, deep in the desert region of Western Australia. Here she recalled collecting bush onion (junta), near the waterhole (jila). There was plenty of good bush food to be collected along the warla (mud flats) there.

When she first started to paint, the outlines of the country were laid bare on the canvas. Like a skeleton of the country, slowly she reclaimed this country dotting over it loosely at first. She said these were her people walking all around that country, collecting mayi (bush food) and hunting for kuwi (meat). Slowly the country merged with the people. It was then she started putting herself in the paintings and through her paintings, Weaver managed to reclaim her country. Each turn of her brush captures the intimacy in which she knows her subject. It is an intimacy that is almost impossible to comprehend. It is an extension of herself. She takes discordant colours which represent all things she eats and the seemingly disordered is transformed and placed very deliberately in its right place, revealing perfection. For Weaver, she and her land are inseparable: they are the same. We realise this does not fit in with conventional Western views of portraiture, but portraiture is about extending our perceptions of who we are. To understand Weaver, one must know her land, because they exist together and define each other.
