Dreaming

Emily Pwerle’s country is Atnwengerrp and her language is Anmatyerre and Alyawarre – She is approximately in her 98 years old. Emily paints “Awelye Atnwengerrp”, meaning women’s ceremony in her country. “Awelye- Atnwengerrp” is depicted by a series of lines and symbols, often criss-crossed patterns that are layered across the canvas creating an explosive & vibrant mass of colour. The patterns represent the designs painted on women’s bodies during bush tucker ceremonies in Atnwengerrp. Emily has developed her own contemporary style and is proving to be a prolific, energetic and talented artist, akin to her late sister Minnie Pwerle.

In Aboriginal culture, ceremonies are focal points in the life of the community. They are held for different purposes, but each is integral to the continuation of Aboriginal culture and vital to the happiness and well being of the people and the land. Learn more here.
