Life experience and culture come alive within the artwork produced for the Artists of Ampilatwatja latest exhibition Alpeyt (Blossom). Each painting pays homage to the significance and use of traditional bush medicine while depicting traditional knowledge of dreaming and country through the translation of waterholes and soaks, bush medicines, snaking dry creek beds, mountains and sand hills.

The beauty of these landscapes emerge from a close association with the land, passed down through generations, grandmothers and mothers teach where and when to find plants, the recipes and uses of bush medicines. The Artists of Ampilatwatja sing to country, singing the bush medicine into existence. Mothers, daughters and sisters, come together at our art centre and paint our own story.

The Artists of Ampilatwatja have painted together for 25 years. Our painting has no borders, just one country. Ampilatwatja is our place, Ampilatwatja is our country.
