Judy Napangardi Watson - Dreaming at Mina Mina, 2006
Est: $18,000 - $24,000
Born on Mt. Doreen Station, north-west of Alice Springs circa 1925, Judy Watson grew up in the vast Warlpiri country that lies between the Tanami and Gibson deserts. Her traditional nomadic lifestyle came to an end, however, when the Warlpiri were forced to live in the new government settlement at Yuendumu. Years later, following the birth of her ten children amid great struggles living under European colonisation, the influence of those early years in the land of her ancestors burst forth in her art. Her principal focus was the womenâs Dreaming of the Karnta-kurlangu â a large number of ancestral women who danced across the land, creating important sites, discovering plants, foods, and medicines, as well as establishing the ceremonies that would perpetuate their generative powers. At Mina Mina, these ancestral women danced and performed ceremonies before travelling on to Janyinki and other sites as they moved east toward Alcoota. During their ritual dancing, digging sticks rose up out of the ground and the women carried these implements with them on their long journey east, singing and dancing all the way without rest. The hairstring is anointed with red ochre and is a secret and sacred connection between the women's ceremony and the country, which enables them to connect with the spirit of the Dreaming.

Judy Napangardi Watson (c.1925-2016) Mina Mina Jukurrpa
Est: $9,000 - $12,000
Born on Mt. Doreen Station, northwest of Alice Springs c.1925, Judy grew up in the vast Warlpiri country that lies between the Tanami and Gibson deserts. Her traditional nomadic lifestyle came to an end however when the Warlpiri, like other desert tribes, were forced to live in the new government settlement at Yuendumu. Much later, after ten children and difficult times adjusting to European ways, the influence of those early years in the land of her ancestors burst forth in her art. Her principle focus was the women’s Dreaming of the Karnta-kurlangu, a large number of ancestral women who danced across the land, creating important sites, discovering plants, foods and medicines and establishing the ceremonies that would perpetuate their generative powers. These ancestral women danced with enthusiasm and great enjoyment. The potent life force with which they imbued the country is evoked in Judy’s love of colour and richly textured rippling surface. Painted in the artist's distinct 'dragged' dotting style, Judy mimics the dance of her ancestors across the country during its creation. The sinuous lines in this work represent ngalyipi, snake vine, a rope-like creeper made into rope and used to carry objects during their travels. The circles are jintiparnta, edible truffle, which the women gathered for sustenance on their long journey which eventually took them beyond Waripiri country.
