Rock Holesby Tanya NapangardiThis artwork depicts rock holes, which is a significant motif Aboriginal women artists from central Australia use, when transferring women's stories onto canvas. Rock holes are often meeting places or gathering sites for food. |
ArtistTanya Wheeler Napangardi was born in 1986 at Watiyawanu (Mount Leibig) in Central Australia. Her grandmother Polly Napurrula encouraged Tanya to paint and in 2008 she started on her first canvases. Tanya incorporates ancient Aboriginal iconography using bold colours in her works, depicting symbols referring to the women gathering bush tucker in sand hills and rock holes. Aboriginal women often perform their ceremonies at these places. Tanya is an emerging artist. She is married the eldest son of Walangkura Napanangka, a well known Papunya Tula artist. Tanya and her husband now live with his family at Kintore in the Western Desert.
