SELINA NAPANGANKA FISHER 💙 // Selina was born i SELINA NAPANGANKA FISHER 💙 // Selina was born in Alice Springs Hospital, the closest hospital to Yuendumu, the town where her parents were living at the time. ⠀ ⠀ She has three sisters and two brothers. Her Mum has since passed away and her father now lives Mt Allen with “another wife”. ⠀ ⠀ Selina is the granddaughter of the late Topsy Napurrurla Fisher, an established artist with Warlukurlangu Artists. ⠀ ⠀ Selina went to the local Yuendumu School before going to Yirara College, an Aboriginal boarding college in Alice Springs, where she graduated in Year 10. When she finished school, she moved to Nyirripi, where she worked in the local store. ⠀ ⠀ She is married to Lance Turner, who works for the Community Development Employment Project (CDEP). Together they have three children.⠀ ⠀ She has been painting with Warlukurlangu Artists since 2006. Selina tells that when she was little she would sit and watch her grandma paint (Topsy Napurrurla Fisher) and she would teach her many Jukurrpa stories. ⠀ ⠀ She paints her father’s Pikilyi Jukurrpa (Vaughan Springs Dreaming) and Karnta Jukurrpa (Women’s Dreaming).
DEBBIE NAPALJARRI BROWN 🤗 // Born in Nyirripi, DEBBIE NAPALJARRI BROWN 🤗 // Born in Nyirripi, a remote Aboriginal community 400 km north-west of Debbie did most of her schooling there, although she spent several years boarding at Yirrara College in Alice Springs. When she returned to Nyirripi she worked at the store as well as helping to care for old people. In 2010 Debbie moved to Yuendumu, 160 km east of Nyirripi, with her husband and son Jarvis to be closer to her husband’s family. She works for the Women’s Centre, cooking lunches for the kids at school. Debbie has been painting with Warlukurlangu since 2006. Her Grandmother, Margaret Napangardi Brown, also an artist with the art centre, taught her to paint. Her Grandfather is the renowned Pintupi artist Pegleg Tjampitjinpa who was born c.1920 and grew up in the vicinity of Wilkinkarra, living a traditional life. Debbie would watch her grandmother and grandfather paint and listen to her Grandmother’s Jukurrpa or Dreaming stories. In her paintings, Debbie paints her father’s Jukurrpa, Dreamings which relate directly to her land, its features, plants and animals. These stories were passed down to her by her Grandmother and her mother and their parents before them for millennia.
CHRIS JAPANANGKA MICHAELS 😎// Chris paints Jang CHRIS JAPANANGKA MICHAELS 😎// Chris paints Janganpa Jukurrpa (Common brush-tail possum Dreaming), a dreaming which travels all over Warlpiri country.⠀ ⠀ ‘Janganpa’ are nocturnal animals that often nest in the hollows of white gum trees (‘wapunungka’). ⠀ ⠀ This story comes from a big hill called Mawurrji, west of Yuendumu and north of Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs). A group of ‘janganpa’ ancestors resided there. Every night they would go out in search of food. Their hunting trips took them to Wirlki and Wanapirdi, where they found ‘pamapardu’ (flying ants). ⠀ ⠀ They journeyed on to Ngarlkirdipini looking for water. A Nampijinpa women was living at Mawurrji with her two daughters. She gave her daughters in marriage to a Jupurrurla ‘janganpa’ but later decided to run away with them. ⠀ ⠀ The Jupurrurla angrily pursued the woman. He tracked them to Mawurrji where he killed them with a stone axe. Their bodies are now rocks at this place. ⠀ ⠀ Warlpiri people perform a young men’s initiation ceremony, which involves the Janganpa Jukurrpa. ⠀ ⠀ The Janganpa Jukurrpa belongs to Jakamarra/Jupurrurla men and Nakamarra/Napurrurla women. ⠀ ⠀ In Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent this Jukurrpa. ‘Janganpa’ tracks are often represented as ‘E’ shaped figures and concentric circles are used to depict the trees in which the ‘janganpa’ live, and also the sites at Mawurrji. 👏
