Description
The women of Utopia are custodians of the honey ant which was and still is today an important source of food for their people. They share this story among the younger women as part of the women's ceremonies which are performed during the summer in central Australia. Janice Kngwarreye Clarke's honey ant paintings are characterised by an aerial perspective of the hundreds of bloated patterned bellies of the honey ants as they move between their nests.
Presentation
Janice Kngwarreye Morton comes from a very large artistic family and is an exceptional sculptor of wooden artefacts. She lives on Utopia with her family. Her Dreamings include Alpeyt (Wild Flowers), Rainbow Dreaming (Mpwelarr), Ilyarn, Ilyarnayt, Tharrkarr (Sweet Honey Grevillea) and Yerramp (Honey Ant).
Janice has been painting and making wood sculptures since early 1980s. Her work is usually extremely refined with intricate dot and brush work. She paints detailed studies of bush flowers, camp stories and designs associated with the stories from her country.
Rainbow (Mpwelarr) Dreaming
Rainbow Dreaming is associated with ceremonies ensuring the fertility of species is capable on the one hand of bringing much needed water but also of causing wild and violent storms. The Rainbow Spirit comes to life in the form of a rainbow at the end of the storm.
