36x36"/91x91cm, Acrylic on Canvas 2009
Ina’s painting describes the epic Tjukurpa (dreamtime) story which is central to Anangu cosmology. The story is about the Seven Sisters’ journey across the land, being pursued by Wati Nyiru (a man called Nyiru).
This painting illustrates the rockholes and claypans that the Seven Sisters create. Between the rockholes the women travel along a dry creek bed and dance as they go.
Claypans are formed when regional rain water runoff from surrounding sandy or rocky hills is collected in one large low lying area. They exist in regular flooding and drying conditions. The floodwater carries sediment and slows to a standstill, depositing clay particles in these low lying areas. This shallow water can remain for some time before it gradually soaks in and leaves a dry cracked clay surface. Before the water dries and becomes a claypan it is an important water source for many desert species of animals and plants. The concentric circles represent rockholes that the sisters visited. The triangular zig-zag pattern on the top and bottom of the painting are the cracked claypans.
They sisters flee earth to the skies where they can still be seen as the Pleiades constellation. Wati Nyiru chases them and can still be seen pursuing them across the skies in the constellation of Orion.
Inawinytji’s paintings are often influenced stylistically by Milpatjunany – drawing in the sand, which is a way of passing on traditional knowledge about law and culture as well as about country. Survival meant knowing and understanding every aspect of living off the land and in particular the food and water sources. Visual representation through sand drawings give clarity to the stories through images.
