        This is Lena's father's country which lies north of Warmun, towards Doon Doon Station. People used to wrap their feet in paperbark or calico here when hunting kangaroos in the hills to stop the sharp stones from which they made spearheads (Jimbala) from cutting their feet.

      • Lena Nyadbi - Gimmenbayin Cave
        Jun. 23, 2020

        Lena Nyadbi - Gimmenbayin Cave

        Est: $25,000 - $35,000

        Lena was born at Warnmarnjooloogoon Lagoon (near Greenvale Station) and grew up in Thildoowam country, also known as Old Lissadell Station. Like other Aboriginal people living in the East Kimberley at this time, Lena was put to work on the station at an early age under conditions akin to indentured labour. Here she worked a wide range of jobs, including mustering cattle, milking cows, and general station duties. Lena moved to the new Lissadell Station when it was relocated for the development of Lake Argyle. This region is of special significance to Lena, who remembers the water for the Ord River Irrigation Scheme covering her country and all of its significant sites. Lena paints two principal Dreamings. The first is Jimbirla. Jimbirla are the sharp quartz-like stones used by Gija people of the past to make spear tips. These are found in abundance in Nyadbi’s father’s country, which lies to the north of Warmun. The second is Dayiwool Lirlmim - the scales that scraped off the Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) barramundi, as she jumped through a range of hills escaping from the Spinifex nets of women who were trying to catch her. The gap her body made in the rock is the current site of the Argyle Diamond Mine and the diamonds are her scales. Lena paints, what she describes as her ‘poor bugger country’, as mining physically renders what were once mountains into plains. In 2006, Lena was one of eight Indigenous artists from Australia featured in the Musée du quai Branly project in Paris, which involved reproducing her work in concrete relief on the façade of the building. This relationship continued in 2013, when Lena’s 'Dayiwool Lirlmim' was recreated in large scale on the rooftop of the museum, visible from atop the Eiffel Tower.

        Dec. 03, 2019

        Lena Nyadbi (1936-) Joori Joordji

        Est: $5,000 - $7,000

        Lena Nyadbi was born around 1936 in the East Kimberley region of Western Australia. Though the East Kimberley art movement began in the late 1970s, Nyadbi was working on the Old Lissadel Station and did not become an artist until 1998. Her motifs are derived from the sharp rocky landscape of her father’s country at Jimbala. In simplifying her canvases, refining her use of colour, and carefully playing with tonal shifts across a single ochre colour contrasts, she creates both a resonance, and tension, with compelling visual finesse. Nyadbi’s powerful Jimbala motifs adorn the exterior of the Musee de Quay Branly in Paris.
