Jorna Newberry Year of birth: 1959 Language: Pitjantjatjara Place of birth: Angus Downs Jorna Newberry is a Pitjantjatjara artist who was born around 1959 east of Uluru. At Irrunytju (Wangelina) by the three-states corner (WA/SA/NT) she watched her uncle painting, the great Tommy Watson, and progressively developed her own abstract style around the main Dreamings evoking her country. The Wind Dreaming comes from her mother’s country called Utantja. Through a vibrant palette, entangled circles and lines, Jorna describes the ceremonies dedicated to the wind performed in this country. Thanks to these ceremonies, fresh winds will pick up, creating air to cool the land.
