- Artist Statement
- The Young Ken Mob paint the Tjala (Honey Ant) Tjukurpa. As the daughters and granddaughters of acclaimed artist Yaritji Young, they follow in her footsteps painting the same story she began painting early in her career. Young Ken Mob bring their own style, using colours from Inuntji (native plants) that grow around Mulga trees, where Tjala can be found. When the Pitjantjatjara go looking for Tjala, they look for the drill holes under trees. They the shovel and dig down, following the nyinantu (tunnels) to find the Honey Ants inside then sucking the ipilyka-ipilyka (honey-like liquid) from the abdomen.
