About this item

Dreaming Sisters by Cindy Wallace Nungarrayi represents places in Cindy's country (Antangker) located in the Utopia region 250 kilometres east of Alice Springs. The Sisters were Ancestral spirit beings who came from the sky to the Earth during the  creation time. They guided people how to collect and prepare food and also how to perform ceremonies.

Now, during the summertime Anmatyerre women accompanied by children, collect food and perform ceremonies - to renew the story and reinforce their connection to the land. They also paint their bodies with Awelye designs, sing and dance.

Cindy is one of the senior custodians for this Dreaming. She has depicted this story using delicate dotting techniques and a variation of colours. The older sister in the middle of this painting teaches younger ones how to collect food. The country is seen from an aerial perspective and portrays the seasonal changes of plants.

Cindy's style is minimalist and lyrical. Her works are represented in Australian and overseas collections.
