Lynette Corby Nungarrayi Skin name: Nungarrayi Year of birth: cc1958 Region: Mount Leibig - Alice Springs Language: Walpiri Lynette Corby Nungarrayi lived in Papunya before moving to Mt. Liebig in the 1980’s. She worked for a decade at Watiyawanu Community at Mt. Liebig specialising in Luritja (written and spoken language). Lynette’s paintings are sought after and her work has been in several exhibitions. In this work, Lynette reconnects with her country, South West of Papunya, which is 250km from Alice Springs. There are vast sand hills going across the land and Lynette is looking at them from a birds eye view, flying high over the ‘Tali’. Room 5307 Title: Tali (Sand Hills) Room 5203 Title: Tali (Sand Hills) Room 5209 Title: Mangari (Bush Tucker) This story is about ‘Mangari’; the various food sources that one can find next to Papunya. The wavy lines represent the sand hills surrounding Lynette’s country and the concentric circles depict the soakages and waterholes around which Aboriginal nomadic life was organised. The women sitting by the soakages are educating young girls about the many hidden resources of this country. 18 | THE LASSETERS COLLECTION
Mari Napurulla Skin name: Napurulla Region: Alice Springs Language: Luritja Mari was born in NSW in 1968, and is the descendant of Stolen Generation from Central Australia. She became determined to explore her Aboriginal background/ancestry several years ago, which brought Mari and her family back to Central Australia. She made connections with relations and kin in the region, and gained more familiarity with her grandmother’s story, which has inspired her. She is now residing in Alice Springs with her family of seven children, and partner, who is also a contemporary Indigenous artist. In her work series “Grandmother’s Journey” Mari depicts Aboriginal iconography of the physical and spiritual journey of her Indigenous Grandmother. Mari imagined the tracks and stopping points her Grandmother must have made as she crossed the hot and arid landscape time after time between the cattle station and the Lutheran mission.
