Women’s Ceremony
Women’s Ceremony explores cultural themes connected with women’s stories, ceremony and food gathering. Different groups have their own ancestral stories, designs, dances and traditions. However, gathering and preparing food forms an important theme within many women’s ceremonial traditions.
Song and dance cycles may relate to bush foods gathered from Country. These can include yam, wild tomato, plum, onions, seeds, honey ants, witchetty grubs, nuts and berries.
Louise Numina Napananka uses repeated forms, flowing lines and areas of colour to create movement across the canvas. As a result, the long horizontal composition draws the eye across the painting and gives the work a strong decorative presence.
