Lynette's design is inspired by the ripples created by wind in the sand at the large, red sand dune named Wamikata near Ernabella. Wamikata is a popular place for looking for maku (witchetty grubs) and also for teaching Milpatjunanyi (telling stories in the sand) to children.

Artists Biography

Lynette is fast becoming one of Ernabella’s leading ceramic artists and younger generation painters. Lynette began her art practice as an arts worker at Ernabella Arts at the start of 2015 when her school age children were at school. Prior to this, Lynette had done tjanpi (weaving) at home and years earlier create a suite of prints at the art centre.

In mid-2015 Lynette participated in two workshops leading up to the exhibition at Sabbia Gallery – Yangupala Tjuta Waakarinyi (Many Young People Working). She then attended the Australian Ceramics Triennale in Canberra with three other artists and demonstrated at the Sabbia Gallery exhibition that toured to the Australian National Botanical Gardens Gallery.

In late 2015 Lynette also participated in a contemporary jewellery workshop withThe Indigenous Jewellery Project, founded by Everywhen Artspace's Emily McCulloch Childs, working with contemporary jeweller and UNSW lecturer Mel Young at Ernabella as part of the Indigenous Jewellery Project. She created some exceptional resin and traditional seed necklaces during the workshop, which were exhibited at Whistlewood, Victoria in March 2016. In 2016 Lynette was also selected as a finalist in the National Contemporary Jewellery Award at Griffith Regional Gallery. She then held a solo exhibition, curated by Emily McCulloch Childs, 'Mara Ninti: Clever Hands' at Craft ACT: Craft + Design Centre, as part of Women in Design, DESIGN Canberra.

In mid-2016 Lynette worked alongside seven other Ernabella women potters to create a collaborative ceramics installation for the Indigenous Ceramics Art Award at the Shepparton Art Museum, Victoria in August 2016.

In 2017 her work was presented in ‘Clay Stories: Indigenous ceramics from remote Australia’ at Sabbia Gallery, Sydney. The exhibition will tour regional Australia from October.

Lynette’s mother Atipalku is a senior artist, her sister Langaliki is also works as a painter and her father Adrian Intjalki is an established punu (timber) artist.

About Aboriginal Contemporary

Aboriginal Contemporary has an enviable reputation for quality, service and ethical trading; not just with our customers but with the art centres from whom we source our work.

This is in no small part due to owner Nichola Dare’s regular trips to some of the most remote parts of Australia and her ability to build relationships with art centres and artists, based on mutual trust and respect. Nichola’s time in Australia’s Western Desert, The Kimberley, APY Lands and Arnhem Land has also given her a deep understanding of the country and culture at the heart of the art we sell.
