How Artworks Are Sent

Ochre / Kimberley artworks are shipped on canvas or linen, already stretched, ready to hang unless stated otherwise.

Acrylic artworks are shipped on canvas or linen un-stretched, rolled up in a cardboard tube unless stated otherwise.

These artworks will need to be stretched around a wooden frame before hanging

This can be done by nearly any picture framer (highly recommended) or you can DIY if you’re confident in your handiwork.

There are numerous "how to" videos on YouTube showing you how to achieve this.

Artist Profile

Pegleg was born around 1920 and lived in the vicinity of Wilkinkarra until 1957, in 1964 he moved to Yuendumu and then moved to Mount Liebig. He was a trustee of the Wilkinkarra Land Trust from 1984 until his passing in 2006.
 
Pegleg began painting when visiting his relative Pinta Pinta Tjapanangka at Walungurru. After Pinta Pinta’s death, and due to his failing eyesight, Pegleg stopped painting but resumed painting after an eye operation restored his sight. 
 
Pegleg’s paintings featured in the significant exhibition at the Art Gallery of NSW ‘Papunya Tula – Genesis and Genius’ in 2000. He is represented in most major public and private collections throughout Australia and overseas. Pegleg is noted in the books Bindibu Country by Donald Thomson (1975) and The Lizard Eaters by Douglas Lockwood (1964). 
  
Peglegs works concern the Tingari stories. During the creation era, Tingari ancestors gathered at a series of sites for Initiation Ceremonies. They travelled from across the country, performing rituals at specific sites that created the natural features of the landscape. The creation stories and rituals are still portrayed in song cycles, paintings and ceremonies and are part of the continuous teaching to the next generation. In painting Tingari Cycle, the artist is depicting the song cycle associated with the artist’s many dreaming sites and the locations of significant natural sites in his area.
 

Artwork Description

Peglegs works concern the Tingari stories. During the Tjukurrpa (Creation Era), Tingari ancestors gathered at a series of sites for Malliera (Initiation) Ceremonies. They travelled vast stretches of the country, performing rituals at specific sites that in turn created the diverse natural features of the environment. The Tingari men were accompanied by novices and usually followed by Tingari Women.

The creation stories and rituals are venerated in the song cycles and ceremonies of today, forming part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths, whilst also providing explanations for contemporary customs. In painting Tingari Cycle, the artist is depicting the song cycle associated with the artist’s many dreaming sites and shows the locations of significant natural sites in his area including rockholes, sandhills, sacred mountains and water soakages in the Gibson Desert.

Loving how Kirstie finds brilliant artists and shares not only the artwork, but the back story of both the piece AND the artist. You can tell she absolutely loves Aboriginal art, and she has such great rapport with the artists.
