    Yaritji Young - Tjala Tjukurpa - Honey Ant Story, 2020

    Est: $20,000 - $25,000

    152 x 198 cm, 155 x 201 cm (framed) Yaritji Young is a senior Pitjantjatjara woman who lives and works in Amata, in the far north of South Australia. Her vibrant, gestural paintings depict the spectacular desert landscape of her Country and tell the story of the Tjala, the Honey Ant; an important creation story for the Pitjantjatjara people. In this work, the Tjala or Honey Ants, which are found about a metre underground beneath Mulga trees make their way down tunnels to their nests (nyinantu) and larvae (ipilyka-ipilyka). Honey Ants are a highly favoured food source. When the Pitjantjatjara go looking for Honey Ants they look for the drill holes under the trees. When they see them, they shovel and dig down, following the tunnels to find the Ants inside. They suck the honey- like liquid from the abdomen of the Honey Ant. The story of the Honey Ant is told across the Northern Territory into South Australia. The Honey Ant is an important link between Anangu mythology and inter-dependence on the environment. The Honey Ant Ancestors are related to the country around Amata.
