Pencil Yam Seed - Maureen Purvis Kngwarreye artistic designs Maureen work has the physical presence of much contemporary work with fascinating accuracy of intricate details, subtle shades of colour that moves with the viewer’s eyes. Kame, the seed of the atnwelarr (pencil yam), is the subject of Maureen’s painting. The Dreamtime story for this seed belongs to Maureen’s country Alhalkere in the Utopia Region, North East of Alice Springs. In the Dreamtime there are txo parts to the Kame story, one that belongs to Alhalkere and Atnangkere countries, and the other that belongs to Arnumarra country. Two different seeds were born that created two different species of pencil yam; one called Atnwelarr which belongs to Maureen’s country, and the other called Arlatyeye which belongs to Arnumarra country. The Kame story is a major Dreamtime story for Maureen’s country and ceremonies by her people are performed to ensure its productivity as a food source and life form of the ancestors. Maureen uses soft dot work and beautiful colours in this painting to represent the kame. This style was custom made by Maureen for her story. |
