Artist: Andrea Mimpitja Adamson
Andrea tells us about the seven sisters and their travels through the country as they are pursued by Wati (Man) Nyiru.
Nyiru fell in love with the sisters, and even though they were of the wrong skin name, he was desperate to make them his.
As the women fled from Wati Nyiru they created the country and landscape around Andrea’s home, Mala.

The lacquered balls & hearts (both 7.6cm) are created from recycled paper using the Kar-e-Kalamdani paper mache technique, a Kashmiri cottage industry.
Better World Arts cross-culture collaborations transform Australian Indigenous fine Art into lovely, utilitarian items & provide important exposure of Indigenous Anangu cultural heritage to the wider public.
The handcraft artisans who produce the products in Kashmir, West Bengal, Peru & Nepal are empowered by continuing employment that utilises their traditional handcraft techniques.
