About Janet

Janet Golder Kngwarreye is the daughter of Margaret Golder and Sammy Pitjara. She is an Anmatyerre artist hailing from Mulga Bore within the Utopia Homelands. Ms. Kngwarreye resides at Boundary Bore with her husband, Ronnie Bird, and their three children. She has been actively involved in the Batik movement at Utopia in the Northern Territory and predominantly focuses on painting narratives related to her ancestral land in this locality.

The artistic lineage within her family is profound. Her grandmothers, the highly regarded Utopia artists Polly Ngale and Angelina Pwerle, alongside her uncle, Greeny Purvis, contribute to this heritage. Additionally, her sister, Belinda Golder Kngwarreye, is recognised as an accomplished artist in her own right.

Janet embarked on her painting journey in 1987, acquiring her artistic skills from family members and embracing themes that resonate within the female artists of her family group. These themes encompass the Awelye Women’s Ceremonial Body Paint, the Bush Yam Leaf designs, Bush Medicine, and Mountain Devil Dreaming. In recent years, she has further developed narratives centred on women’s cultural practices on Country, intertwining imagery of bush foods with elements of the Utopia landscape.

Janet Golder Kngwarreye possesses considerable expertise in color application. Her artworks frequently merge black and white design elements with vibrant colours, or alternatively, display a full spectrum of color, illustrating features of her homeland and the bush medicine that flourishes there. She has showcased her work in galleries across Australia and on an international scale.

About the Artwork

Janet has created a Women’s Dreaming narrative, intricately weaving her cultural heritage with the bush tucker and waterholes that are crucial for the women during their ceremonial excursions, which may last up to one week. The women perform significant ceremonies at these locations, including the Desert Yam (or Bush Plum) story from her ancestral lands.

The yam grows subterraneanly, with its viny shrub extending above ground to a height of approximately one meter. It is typically located on Spinifex sand plains and yields large blossoms following summer rainfall. The yam is a tuber, or an enlarged root, of the shrub and possesses a flavour reminiscent of the common sweet potato. It may be consumed either raw or cooked, and it remains a fundamental food source for the desert Aboriginal peoples, who can harvest it year-round. Additionally, it is renowned for its medicinal qualities. This plant's medicinal properties are utilised to heal cuts, wounds, insect bites, rashes, and also serve as an insect repellent.

During ceremonies, the women pay tribute to the spirit of this unique plant, expressing the hope that it will regenerate.

AWARDS AND RECOGNITION

2020, one of Janet's works was chosen to decorate the Coles supermarket in Alice Springs

Worked for only 4 months. Now produces metal shards. Dangerous
Pros: Can be used with one hand. I bought this to have after surgery that left me without use of one arm for a few months. The light blinks when you need to charge it. Only needs a 2-3 min charge for enough juice to open a can. Cons: IT QUIT CUTTING CORRECTLY AFTER 4 MONTHS. I now have to use both hands to hold it in place to get it to latch on to the can. It also requires a few rotations around the top to cut through the seal, resulting in METAL SHARDS! The metal shards are super sharp and almost invisible. I stabbed myself with one enough to draw blood. This is dangerous as the metal could fall into the food when pouring from the can.

Can opener
It doesn't shut off by itself when done and doesn't shut off when I push the button, so after a while it will shut off but when it wants too after you take it off the can ,like 30 seconds. But I do like the way it cuts, a clean cut and lid removal nice.

So simple to use, I'm amazed
Color: Black
Wonderfully helpful. Description is accurate, shipping was quick. I saw a few poor comments, but I have none so far! The can opener has opened cans of several sizes, from tomato paste to large cans of tomatoes; soup cans to strangely shaped. It's opened 30 or so already without loss of power. It's a little noisy, but about equal to that of a stand up opener. It fits in my drawer, which is less deep than most kitchen drawers. Most of all, it's beyond easy to use for arthritic hands. The ONLY CHALLENGE I have is that it sometimes fails to stop when it should. MANUFACTURER: if you read this and have advice, please share. At this point, I'd say this is a great value for the money.
