Cooee Art Indigenous Fine Art Auction "Weaver Jack was born south of Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route in the Great Sandy Desert, Western Australia. She was forced to migrate from there in the late 1960s with her husband and children in search of food and water. They eventually settled on the coast at the old La Grange Mission now called Bidyadanga, where she began painting in her senior years. Weaver Jack constructed her paintings by laying down the outlines of her country like a skeleton, then slowly reclaiming her birthright by dotting over it. Each turn of her brush captures the intimacy with which she knows her country and her place in it. In this work, the desert country at Lungurang, her birthplace, is depicted in reds and oranges and intertwined with the rich blues and greens of her adopted coastal home at Bidyadanga. For Weaver, she and her land are inseparable: they are one and the same. " Contact Cooee Art for more information on this Aboriginal artwork.
