About Artist

This diptych is Jane Pitjara’s impression of the women’s ceremony for the bush orange. Many women sit in circles and paint their bodies with ochres and dance and sing to the young initiates. These ceremonies are performed during the long summer nights by the Alyawarre and Anmatyerre women of the eastern desert region in central Australia.
