YARITJI YOUNG
Seven Sisters
Yaritji is a Pitjantjatjara woman born in the bush near the creek at Ernabella, South Australia, circa 1955. She attended school in Amata, and as a young girl would visit Ernabella and Fregon on the weekends. Her father came from Rocket Bore near Pipalyatjarra and her mother, Paniny Mick came from near Perentie Dreaming site at Irrunytju. She now resides in Rocket Bore, a homeland north of Amata in Northern Australia, and has three children.
Yaritji Young has been painting at Tjala Arts since late 2000. She is a senior law woman and is committed to fostering law and culture. Her works are drawn from the Dreaming Tjala – Honey Ants. Yaritji Young is an emerging artist who demonstrates great skill.
Yaritji learnt how to make baskets at Amata and like her other Pitjantjatjara relatives probably learnt it from her Western Australian Ngaanyatjarra relatives when they were visiting in the late nineties. Her style is very creative and she has made a wide variety of humorous objects such as small trucks and camp crockery. Her most favoured objects though are the very large low rimmed baskets decorated with emu feathers.
