Book Review
Bush Women: Fresh Art from Remote WA, edited by Darren Jorgensen, Fremantle Arts Centre, 2018.
Fremantle Art Centre’s 1994 exhibition Bush Women: Fresh Art from Remote WA was the first to combine artworks created by female artists from the freshwater country of the north-west of Western Australia and the Ngaanyatjarra Lands of the Western Desert. The selection of paintings by Paji Honeychild Yankkarr, Daisy Andrews, Queenie McKenzie (Gara-Gara), Tjapartji Kanytjuri Bates, Tjingapa Davies and Pantjiti Mary McLean was significantly positioned during a period in which Aboriginal women from remote Australia were rising in prominence within the Australian art world.
