Born circa 1980, Kate Petyarre (Pitjara) is an emerging artist from Utopia, an area known for its respected artists located 240 kilometres northeast of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. Following in her mother Polly Ngale’s footsteps, Kate depicts the Dreamings of the Atnwelarr and Kame (the pencil yam) and the Anwekety (bush plum), traditional stories and knowledge passed down to her.


Anwekety is the Anmatyerre word for conkerberry (or conkleberry), a sweet black berry favoured by desert Aboriginals. They only grow on the plant (Carissa lanceolata ) for a few weeks of the year. However, the Women collect plenty of them and store them dry, soaking them in the water again before being consumed. This fruit looks very similar to a plum, which is why it is often referred to in English by the Anmatyerre people as ‘bush plum’. There is a Dreamtime story for the Anwekety that belongs to the people of Ahalpere country in the Utopia Region. This means anyone from this country can be taught it and hold ceremonies to ensure its productivity. In the Dreamtime, winds blew from all directions, carrying the Anwekety seed over the ancestors’ land, in Ahalpere country. The first Anwekety of the Dreamings grew, bore fruit and dropped more seeds. Many winds blew the seeds all over the Dreaming lands.

Working similarly to her mother and her highly regarded aunt, Kathleen Ngale, Kate creates her Anwekety paintings by building layers of colour to create multi-dimensional images. Her use of vibrant colours creates a dynamic aspect of the paintings, while the combination of heavy and finer brushwork forms subtle layers of blended tones that create visual shifts within the works.

You have to add weight to it
Color: Coal Black
It does its job and it was easy to put together but it's a little on the flimsy side and it will easily be knocked down. So you're going to have to figure out a way to make the legs heavier? I used cinder blocks, single cinder blocks and it works just fine. Just know that it will knock over super easy

I have 2!
Color: Coal Black
My office is in my loft. But there are things along the wall I don’t want to look at. These work great. Hides what I don’t want to see & is a classy look in the room. Sturdy, easy to assemble, well made.

These shelves are great quality. Easy to hang and come with all the hardware you need. No matter what type of wall you are hanging them on. Saved me a bunch of space.
