Artist Profile
Jacinta Numina was born at Stirling Station, a cattle station near Tennant Creek, NT in 1967 and is niece to the acclaimed Petyarre sisters from Utopia. In the early eighties she started painting with a group of lady elders from the Utopia region. The central theme of her artwork relates to her knowledge of the Anmatyerre Womens Law and her country.
In 1996, Jacinta moved to Darwin to formally study art at Charles Darwin University and completed her Associate Degree in Art and Design in 2003. The next year saw Jacinta complete her traineeship in printmaking and she was then appointed as a fulltime printmaker at Northern Editions.
Jacinta paints mainly on canvas but she has also painted artefacts such as shields, coolamons and didgeridoos.
Artwork Description
In this painting, Jacinta has depicted a number of women with their coolamons collecting bush plums and honey ants which are part of their staple diet.
In their paintings the Women depict the implements they use, including digging sticks, grinding stones, and coolamons for carrying. The abstract figures they show are the same as those painted by men. For example, a ‘U’ shape represents a person or groups of people sitting down with crossed legs.
Aboriginal women have their own ceremonies in which a series of song and dance cycles tell of the Ancestral Beings who walked the earth teaching women’s law and ceremony to isolated groups living throughout the desert. Each tribe has its own set of women ancestors with different stories, designs and dances, but most of the ceremonies have one theme common to all groups – that of food gathering as an important part of women’s lives.
The song and dance cycles mainly revolve around bush tucker, such as yam, banana, wild tomato, plum, onions, honey ants, witchetty grubs, nuts and berries.
