Artwork Story:
This painting depicts a Mimi Spirit, one of the sacred spirit beings from the stories of West Arnhem Land. Mimi spirits are believed to live among the rocky escarpments and stone country, moving through the landscape and sharing knowledge with people. They are often shown as tall, delicate figures who carry great cultural wisdom.
In this artwork, the Mimi spirit represents Mother Nature, a powerful presence connected to the land and the life it supports. She holds several dilly bags, each one symbolising a different Aboriginal language. These bags carry the voices, stories and knowledge of many communities, reflecting the rich diversity of languages across Aboriginal Australia.
The dilly bags represent how language is carried, protected and passed down through generations. Just as dilly bags traditionally hold food, tools and important items gathered on Country, in this story they hold the cultural knowledge contained within language.
Through this painting, the artist celebrates the connection between Country, culture and language, showing how these elements are carefully held and protected. The Mimi spirit stands as a guardian of this knowledge, reminding us of the importance of keeping languages, stories and cultural traditions strong for future generations.

“Picked up my picture from the framers today and it is now on my bedroom wall. I absolutely love it. Thank you”
“Maria Nampijinpa Brown’s “Seven Sister’s Dreaming” painting arrived last week and is even more impressive than shown online. It’s vivid colors and traditional designs inspire me to learn about Aboriginal Art. I admire the symbolism of the sisters becoming the Pleiades Star Cluster to escape danger. How clever! I feel honored to display this wonderful art in my home.”
