1 INTERWOVEN BERNDT MUSEUM AT THE LAWRENCE WILSON ART GALLERY 18 FEBRUARY - 9 APRIL 2016
2 BERNDT MUSEUM Noted anthropologists Ronald and Catherine Berndt founded the Berndt Museum in 1976 through the generous gift of a large proportion of their own personal collection. Since then, through the ongoing support of the University of Western Australia and a large number of benefactors, the collection has become one of the most important research collections on Australian Aboriginal art and culture in the world. Today the collection reflects much of Australia, with a particular focus on South Australia, the Northern Territory and Western Australia. It also has a substantial collection of Melanesian and Asian art that formed the original gift from Catherine Berndt. Currently housed within the Lawrence Wilson Art Gallery, the Berndt Museum presents and interprets art and culture through exhibitions and is dedicated to advancing and supporting learning at the University of Western Australia. The Berndt Museum is working its way towards developing the Australian Aboriginal Cultures Museum UWA to display and house the collection in its entirety. Proudly supported by the University of Western Australia, the project is currently awaiting philanthropic support to see it to completion. INTERWOVEN Through the intertwining of fibre, feather, paper, string, seed and other materials, Interwoven brings to life a series of items created by culturally distinctive makers from Aboriginal Australia, Papua New Guinea and throughout Asia. Every work presented in this exhibition was chosen by a member of the Berndt Museum team. In this book they will explain why, out of the tens of thousands of items in the museum s collection, their selection spoke loudest. They write of how a cloth can take you back to your childhood, what grass and paper say about the enduring strength of a people, and how a mask made for a yam can leave you with questions you ll never quite answer. Most of all these essays, and the exhibition they were made for, speak of how an object can connect you with its maker; how you can feel an intimate connection with someone despite the separation of time, distance and a very different culture.
3 YINANGARNDUNA BASKET Suzanne Barron, Conservator Aboriginal Australians produce some of the most universally renowned fibre works, using natural resources to produce and construct the daily necessities of shelters, baskets, dilly bags, fish traps, cradles, weapons and sacred objects. The process of gathering materials - making an object and putting it to use - can be both practical and spiritual at the same time. Dilly bags that were collected by anthropologist Donald Thompson in the 1930s were not dyed, but decorated with the use of ochres, or surface stitched with plant string. In contemporary settings, constant experimentation with different plant materials produces a variation of colours. The basket I chose for this exhibition was one among others displayed at the Fremantle Arts Centre in 1994 in an exhibition titled High Fibre Diet. Made by Mary Mirdaburrwa from Yinangarnduna in the Northern Territory, the basket is named Butha after a small island of the same name. Its colours represent the sand changing colours at different times of the year, with the dry season as the light colour and the wet as the dark brown. The basket s earthy colours and patterned wavy designs immediately drew me in. It was a real eye-catcher. The woven lines tell a story about the colours of shifting sands that change with the different tides, low and high. A beautiful story, combined with a beautiful basket and how and by whom it was made, reminded me also of my own homeland on the coast of north-west WA. The basket s earthy colours and patterned wavy designs immediately drew me in. It was a real eye-catcher. The woven lines tell a story about the colours of shifting sands that change with the different tides, low and high. Mary Mirdaburrwa, Burrarra/Yanangu, Butha, woven pandanus. Berndt Museum [Acc.

4 THREADED DJONDJON FIGURES FROM GOULBURN ISLAND Lily Bennion, Volunteer The threaded Djondjon figures from Goulburn Island (Warruwi) and Oenpelli (Gunbalanya) in the Northern Territory embody the spiritual poignancy and resonance of secret sacred rituals within the Kunwinjku language group. These figures represent a sense of community that is particularly evident in a respect for the dead and the complex cultural practices conducted during periods of mourning. When a member of the community passes away, the camp is often moved and the Djondjons are placed outside the camp boundaries. Their long arm points in the direction where people have moved to, while the short arm points toward the mortuary platform on which the body decays. This ritual reflects a series of grieving practices and illuminates the depth of emotion felt by family for the deceased. The reason I was drawn to the Djondjon figures for inclusion in Interwoven is the emphasis Aboriginal people have placed, and continue to place, on the continuity of life, rather than its cessation. Such a cyclical philosophy has universal resonance, as most religious beliefs orientate around the respect for the dead. I both admire and value this perspective, one that the figurines symbolise. Understanding and empathising with these qualities has provided a considerable transition point in my life and helped to place everyday challenges in perspective. The mystery and solemnity of such mourning rituals drew my attention to the Djondjon figures: the layers of fibre are embedded with meaning, alluding to the persistence of the memory of those who have passed, alongside hopes and aspirations for future communities. When a member of the community passes away, the camp is often moved and Djondjons are placed outside the camp boundaries. Their long arm points in the direction where people have moved to, while the short arm points toward the mortuary platform on which the body decays.

5 EMPTY VESSELS Eve Chaloupka, Archivist and Curator Sharyn Egan s deeply personal and poignant artwork Empty Vessels was created for inclusion in Mundaring Art Centre s 2010 annual exhibition of self-portraiture, Mine Own Executioner. This triptych, in the form of three woven baskets using card, photocopied Western Australia Native Welfare reports, Guildford grass, gum resin and stitching, is a statement about the artist s removal from her mother at the age of three to become the third generation of stolen children in her family. Using copies of her own welfare records bound together with Guildford grass, Sharyn created three vessels, the largest representing herself, the smaller vessel representing her mother and the smallest vessel representing her grandmother. The gum Sharyn applied to the baskets of her mother and grandmother is from the Balga (Xanthorrhoea preissii), with its medicinal properties of significance to the Nyungar people of the south-west; a people whose languages and cultural practices were denied to them for generations. In the words of the artist, The gum gets less sterile even as we have less access to our culture. In her artist s statement, Sharyn recalls the hunger she and other young children experienced living at the mission, and puddings from the Guildford grass they would eat whenever they could find a patch: Many of us grew without ever having been hugged or encouraged in anything. We became empty vessels, out of touch with our feelings. Just surviving and getting thorough life the best we could manage. We smile, we say yes and no, please and thank you in the right places. An artist, curator, teacher, mentor and singer, Sharyn Egan is also a friend and former Berndt Museum colleague. I chose this particular work of Sharyn s because it is one that encapsulates what it is about her grace and artistic practice that inspires me so much, and I believe it enables a greater understanding of the deeply embedded roots, enduring strength and dignity of our people. This triptych, in the form of three woven baskets using card, photocopied Western Australia Native Welfare reports, Guildford grass, gum resin and stitching, is a statement about the artist s removal from her mother at the age of three to become the third generation of stolen children in her family.

6 TWO FEATHER BASKETS Moira De Angelis, Administrative Assistant When asked to choose an artwork for the Interwoven exhibition, I immediately turned to one of my colleagues and asked if any items in the collection were made with feathers. I have a passion for feathers; all feathers. I am endlessly drawn to their colour, structure, delicacy and strength. I collect feathers and they are all through my house. I gift feathers whenever possible and enjoy the pleasure of combining them with other materials, such as grasses, twine and silk fabric. So extensive is my enthusiasm, my children - and all who know me well - will pick up a feather and give it to me with pride. Many years ago, I attended a women s weekend weaving workshop in Balingup. There I learnt about entwining emu feathers with collected grasses to produce spiritually inhabited baskets. A lovely senior Nyungar woman taught the class. I will always remember the three days spent wandering the forest, collecting materials, respecting country, and sitting on the floor with other women making and connecting. The two sublime baskets I have chosen, by Ivy Hopkins and Jean Riley, were made with the sharing of knowledge, the teaching of skills, the telling of stories about family, laughter, passion and the rhythms of cultural life over time. Such qualities are akin to my own Italian background where a coming together with other women to share and pass on traditional practices and methods regularly revolves around food and laughter. These baskets are not only in this exhibition because of my love of feathers: they also symbolise tangible human connections and unity throughout time and place. The two sublime baskets I have chosen,... were made with the sharing of knowledge, the teaching of skills, the telling of stories about family, laughter, passion and the rhythms of cultural life over time.

7 PWOJA JILAMARA AND JILAMARA Natalie Hewlett, Collection Manager Cornelia Tipuamantumirri and Janice Murray have used different media to represent designs indicating who they are and where they are from as artists and Tiwi women. When we were first discussing weaving as a theme for Interwoven, I was busy preparing Cornelia s painting for formal accession into the Berndt Museum s collection. Cornelia s painting reminds me of woven grass fibres, and also conveys dappled light reflecting off waves on the Arafura Sea - a theme she writes about when describing her artwork and a quality I admire. I added Janice s print because it reveals cross-hatching and woven patterns that are common to Tiwi design more broadly, including sometimes being incorporated into the creation of Pukamani funerary poles and ceremonial body paint. Both artworks symbolise beautiful representations of the mark making that typifies Tiwi artwork. Cornelia s painting is made using a pwoja, a wooden comb dipped into ground ochre paste then pressed on canvas to make the dotted lines, a technique that is also used for making designs on bodies in preparation for ceremonies. Janice s print was completed for a project the Dutch government organised with the Australian Print Workshop in Melbourne. The event was to commemorate the 400th anniversary of the Dutch ship Duyfken landing on Australian shores in In 2006 ten talented, emerging Aboriginal artists were chosen to contribute a print after attending a print-making workshop based on First Encounters. Both artworks represent wonderful expansion of Tiwi art in the Berndt Museum s collection. Both artworks symbolise beautiful representations of the mark making that typifies Tiwi artwork. opposite page above: Cornelia Tipuamantumirri, Tiwi, Pwoja Jilamara, 2007, acrylic and ochres on canvas.

8 DILLY BAG AND BARK PAINTINGS FROM ARNHEM LAND Margaret Nadebaum, Volunteer and Berndt Foundation support staffer These three pieces centre on the woven-pandanus dilly bag and its ubiquity and significance in the everyday and the spiritual lives of the Aboriginal communities of Arnhem Land. Its particular appeal lies not only in its aesthetics and functionality, but also as an exemplar of the extent to which the everyday and the spiritual are inextricably linked in Australian Aboriginal cultural life. More than 50 years ago, I was in the first cohort of students (numbering only 15) to graduate from The University of Western Australia with a major in Anthropology through the then newly created Department of Anthropology. This new department was headed by Ronald Berndt himself, and his lectures and tutorials on Australian Aboriginal culture derived directly from his and Catherine Berndt s internationally renowned fieldwork. Together they kindled in me a deep and sustained interest in Aboriginal culture. Dilly bags were used by women and by men, not only for mundane purposes, but also in ceremonial domains and rituals. To illustrate this feature I have also chosen two bark paintings, one depicting domestic activities and the other showing three Mimi spirits as a dynamic, dancing group. It can be contextually and aesthetically discerned that the dilly bag is integral to the spiritual significance of the painting, and that the Mimi spirits draw their power from the Dreaming. Its particular appeal lies not only in its aesthetics and functionality, but also as an exemplar of the extent to which the everyday and the spiritual are inextricably linked in Australian Aboriginal cultural life. opposite page above: Namaredge Guymala, Kunwinjku, ochre on bark.

9 TIMBU AND THE NET BAG Michael (Smokey) Reynolds, Associate Registrar The dim light shone across my face and two people stared intently upon me. The lid was replaced and I was again in darkness. Then, in what seemed only a moment, a face appeared again with a smile. The smiling man asked me what was I doing in this box to nowhere, and what places I had come from and travelled through over the last fifty years? My name is Timbu, and I am a male figure made out of rattan. I will refer to the other man as Smokey. Smokey suggested that I most likely came from a village in the Mendi Valley in Papua New Guinea. My mind has become foggy over many years inside a dark box. I now remember the smell of smoke filled air, wet moist grass, and cooked pork. Yes, that s right. My first memory is of an old man speaking and singing to me a long time ago. The hut enclosure was dimly lit, just like now, and the air was cool and damp. This old man yelled out to the women outside the hut, and he passed his shoulder net bag to a younger man sitting next to the opening at one end of the men s ritual house. The old man painted my body with coloured dyes, possibly local ochre from the Mendi Valley region. He spoke sacred power words and performed a restricted ritual. I cannot fully remember everything but the old man sang and danced as he painted in the enclosed hut. The shoulder net bag was passed back into the hut full of cooked sweet potato, boiled pork, and strips of pig fat. Some of the men rubbed the fat over their bodies and continued the men s ritual, while the women, uninitiated boys and young children remained a short distance away. Time past and the ritual continued; my memory has faded over the years. Timbuwara is a word that was used in the presence of all members of my family group, but I can t remember the family s name and village in the Mendi Valley region. My next memory is being carried out of the men s restricted enclosure on the chest of the old man. We all danced in the public area outside of the enclosure with the women, children, and closely related family groups from our valley farming region. The air was filled with smoke from fires surrounding the hut, and the sun was bright over the surrounding open grass and forest. The performance continued and then a young woman handed the old man his shoulder net bag, and the ritual was completed. I was then given to the young people and placed on the wet grass not far from the enclosure. Ritual power gifted to me during the ceremony slowly dissipated, and returned to a place where I can see. I next remember a different looking man picking up my rattan body and placing it in a bag along with other items, including a man s shoulder net bag. I am not sure if this is the same net bag from the ceremony. I later understood that this man was John Anderson, a collector who later donated me to the Berndt Museum. The next memory I have is sitting in a glass box surrounded by strange people. They spoke a language I did not understand, and they wore long tapa-like cloth around their necks. I thought to myself, Who are these people? Where have they come from and what are they doing here? They are not like us, and what do they know about my art and culture? I later understood they were people interested in art forms and material culture from another world. They came to visit me, in appreciation of my form and texture. Recently, the smiley man, Smokey, learnt that I am a Timbawara ritual figure. He told me that he would like to share and show my qualities as part of an exhibition. This might even result in some more information about the name of my village and the people whom first created and cared for me some fifty years ago. I am quite excited about the prospect of being reconnected to my past, to having the warm sunlight shine over my rattan body, and to rest upon the damp grass. I wonder if my family will come to visit me? The old man painted my body with coloured dyes He spoke sacred power words and performed a restricted ritual. I cannot fully remember everything but the old man sang and danced as he painted in the enclosed hut. Unknown artist, Papua New Guinea, woven fibres and dyes. J.

10 KAIN SONGKET Siti Sarah Ridhuan, Curatorial Assistant Kain songket in their various forms are most prominently woven throughout Indonesia and Malaysia areas that share significant linguistic and mercantile connections. The production of this type of textile can also be traced to other parts of South East and South Asia. Thus, the kain songket embodies a cross-national and intercultural mobility in terms of material trade, cultural relations and the commodification of luxury goods that can be seen to this day. This is explained poetically in the song Kain Songket as immortalised by the late, great Malay icon Saloma: Oh abang yang manis Oh nona yang lawa Pakailah kain songket Pakaian budaya Oh sweet mister Oh pretty miss Wear the kain songket That is your cultural clothing These lyrics capture what the kain songket means to me. Whether an antique piece in a museum or as emblematic of contemporary fashion, the various forms of the kain songket play a vital role in maintaining and reproducing cultural life and identity. Traditionally a luxury cloth worn by royalty, owning a kain songket is now not uncommon in many Malay and Indonesian families. Growing up in a Malay-Singaporean family meant celebrating Hari Raya (Eid) every year, an occasion that saw everyone dressed in traditional attire that often consisted of kain songket. This versatile garment is also commonly worn at weddings, where the bride and groom often wear beautiful pieces in matching colours. Despite the commodification of this textile, it continues to evoke a sense of occasion and ceremony. I chose these three pieces from the museum s collection because I feel they represent an interweaving of custom, identity, aesthetic practice as well as cultural and material exchange. At a personal level, the kain songket grounds me in my culture, family and identity in both its materiality and symbolism....the kain songket embodies a cross-national and intercultural mobility in terms of material trade, cultural relations and the commodification of luxury goods that can be seen to this day.

11 THANGKA FROM TIBET Kelly Rowe, Associate Registrar When working on rehousing the Berndt Museums collection of thangka (a Tibetan Buddhist painting on cotton or silk) in 2011, I was intrigued by their intricate construction and beautiful designs. The use of the brocade frame augmented the significance of the central painting. While I recognised the iconography as Buddhist, I was unsure whether works in such a format were still being produced and used today. I travelled to Nepal last year and visited the Boudhanath Stupa in Boudha, east of Kathmandu, the holiest Tibetan Buddhist temple outside of Tibet. Surrounding the stupa are studios where I saw thangka being painted by artists at varying stages in their apprenticeships. The works were framed on completion with silk brocade for sale to local and tourist markets. I realised then that both the making and meaning embedded in thangka continued to have meaning for many Tibetans. Considering that older thangkas are sold as antiques and kept in museum collections, and new ones are still being produced, the thangka retains its significance within a religious context as it has since the 9th century. For me the thangka highlights traditional weaving techniques in contemporary religious and ceremonial practices, alongside its purpose for trade to external markets, including for tourism. Considering older thangkas are sold as antiques and kept in museum collections, and new ones are still being produced, the thangka retains its significance within a religious context as it has since the 9th century.

12 WAVE HILL BAGS Professor Sandy Toussaint, Associate Director ( ) It is 1960s Melbourne. I am having dinner with my parents and young brother. The Wave Hill Cattle Station in the Northern Territory is a long way from where my family and I share food, but we have a strong sense of empathy and an inherited interest in the complexity and universal value of the human condition. The Gurindji people s actions enter our conversation. News of their courageous and considered walk off from Wave Hill has hit the media: the Gurindji are no longer prepared to work in the pastoral industry for less pay and in poorer conditions than their non-indigenous counterparts. Gurindji actions stay in my mind, as does the equitable nurturing and compassion of my parents. Many years later in what seems like a lifetime of working for and with Indigenous families, communities and organisations, I am at the Berndt Museum fielding inquiries about access to the museum s collection from a Berndt Foundation Postgraduate Research Award Recipient, Brenda L. Croft. Ancestral connections tie Brenda to Gurindji Country and family: she is keenly interested in discovering what objects, archives, audio-visual, maps or other materials the Berndt Museum collection might hold for loved ones and the local community, as well as for her doctoral research. Dedicated staff search the collection s database while undertaking a myriad of other tasks. A series of Gurindji-inspired, crayon drawings on paper are eventually identified. Collected by Catherine and Ronald Berndt in the 1940s at Wave Hill, copies of the drawings are in the process of being repatriated to families. This process can only be completed once cultural protocols have been followed; the possible sensitive content of the drawings signals the need for caution and care via consultation with colleagues and senior community members. Six hand-made, fibre bags are also found. Beautifully woven, and part of the same 1940s assemblage collected by the Berndts from Wave Hill. The delicacy and colour, the boldness, symbolism and the texture of these bags generates a mix of emotion: the 1960s creativity and resilience of Indigenous people, alongside the remembered generosity and wisdom of my parents. All of those involved in the revelation of the drawings are profoundly moved to learn of the bags existence. Colourful images are returned but the bags remain in the care of the museum, as they require conservation and documentation. When it comes time to choose a work or series of works for Interwoven, I immediately turn to the Wave Hill bags. My choice expands when we learn about a recent series of etchings by Brenda L. Croft, who is also an artist. Based on Brenda s practice-led doctoral research with her family and community, the etchings reference objects associated with Jinparrak (Old Wave Hill Station). The continuity and connectedness of timing is perfect. Through a mix of conversations and of artworks bags, weaving, drawings and etchings cultural beliefs and practices over time and place are given new life, without ever letting go of the old. Beautifully woven, and part of the same 1940s assemblage collected by the Berndts from Wave Hill, the delicacy and colour, the boldness, symbolism and the texture of these bags generates a mix of emotion...

13 YAM MASKS Kelsey Truscott, Arts Faculty Practicum Placement Student These beautiful masks come from the Middle Sepik region of Papua New Guinea, and are put to use during yam trading ceremonies. The ceremonies involve the competitive exchanging of large yams, with prestige being given to those men who can consistently grow larger yams than their traditional exchange partner. Two different kinds of yams are grown here: those for everyday eating and a special kind, grown just for the ceremony, which can be up to twelve feet in length. The masks represent the spirits of ancestors and are not worn by the men, but adorn the yams themselves, giving them an almost human appearance. The masks feature large, bulbous eyes that are usually separated by a crest, giving the look of a bird or lizard-like being, and this is the feature that immediately drew my attention. Combined with the earth toned colours, distinct shaping, and rough, woven textures, these masks were unlike anything I had seen before. They are made individually for each yam and they gain their own individual personality through the differences in their construction. The unique design of each of these masks allows for a beautiful charm to come through in every one. The differences, to me, are what are most interesting about these items. I wonder what process goes into the design of each mask? What thoughts are behind creating a long, skinny mask, as opposed to a short round one? Why should one mask be coloured red and another yellow? Or, is it all down to the whimsy of the creator? The first time I saw these masks I thought of how interesting they were to look at. However, like so many things in life, the more I look at them, the more questions I have about their stories and meanings. The ceremonies involve the competitive exchanging of large yams, with prestige being given to those men who can consistently grow larger yams than their traditional exchange partner.

14 BIKE AND RIDER Vanessa Wiggin, Associate Registrar I love the extra dimension of fibreworks their scent. Much of my work is confined to windowless museum stores. The scent of a fibrework is a reminder of the natural world outside. That this work takes the form of a bike is appropriate, as the smell of dried grass takes me on a journey to other times and places. It is the smell of the much-envied woven pandanus mat in my former director s office at the National Museum in Palau a delight to walk on, as we wore no shoes. It is the smell of opening a box to discover one of my favourite artworks Baby, a grass fibre sculpture by Joyce Winsley at the Art Gallery of Western Australia a reminder of my early days in Perth. Or perhaps, much earlier, building forts from the drying mown grass on my primary school oval. The bike is also evocative of the colour and fearlessness of childhood. The child is completely in the moment literally one with the bike. I am reminded of my son as a toddler, running into the ocean without a moment of hesitation; no thought of cold or danger that would inevitably slow an adult. That night I dreamt that it was me running into the glassy water. I did not stop. A delicious moment of freedom. The bike is also evocative of the colour and fearlessness of childhood. The child is completely in the moment literally one with the bike. I am reminded of my son as a toddler, running into the ocean without a moment of hesitation...

15 THAI MINIATURES Vanessa Wiggin, Associate Registrar These were simply too cute! I could not resist the opportunity to display our smallest fish traps below our largest fish trap, for the first and (probably) only time. What is it about miniatures that draw the eye? They speak of a certain whimsy in human nature; the luxury of perfecting something for its own sake, rather than utility. Perhaps they offer a view of a perfect and controllable tiny world. I have written controllable, but these items are really as slippery as the tiny fish they will never contain. Their story is elusive. I enjoy the research aspect of museum work and pride myself on my ability to chase down obscure information. Of course I hit plenty of brick walls too. The Berndt Museum s Curatorial Assistant, Sarah, hands me a tower of files as my penance for choosing several objects. I make some room among the general clutter on my desk. Surely these files are too big and awkward to relate to these delicate works? Each contains the same thing, which is almost nothing. All we do know is that the miniatures were once owned by Ronald Berndt. They were sent to him in a brown paper wrapped package from Thailand by his former students Srisakra Vallibhotama and Rote Sodesiri. A note indicates that the miniatures were made by Valli and Sode. I wonder whether this is true such items could easily have been bought at a tourist market. Sodesiri published a book in 1972 which is still cited in other publications. There is an eerie silence after that. Vallibhotama has forged a distinguished, if controversial, career as an anthropologist and archaeologist. He has spent much time with local communities, striving to understand their prehistoric origins. He is a strong supporter of traditional crafts, and has sought to empower people by reconnecting them with their cultural roots. He is still an active man, and it is not too difficult to imagine him taking up the challenge of learning miniature bamboo work in his younger years. Maybe the gift is saying that only by doing, can we truly understand and appreciate. I could Vallibhotama to ask about the origin of the miniatures. But not yet. I am enjoying the mystery....these items are really as slippery as the tiny fish they will never contain. Their story is elusive.
