Seven Sisters – Ready to Hang
SKU : AAD761
Dimensions : 30cm x 30cm
Andrea Adamson tells us the story of the seven sisters and their travels through the country as they are pursued by Wati (Man) Nyiru. Nyiru saw the sisters as they travelled to the west. He fell in love with them, and even though they were of the wrong skin name to marry him, he was desperate to make them his. As the women fled from Wati Nyiru they created the country and landscape around Andrea’s home, trying to trick him and escape from him. The sisters created the rockhole’s, sandhills and rocky outcrops as they tried to escape. Eventually they created a rock hole which went deep under the ground and came up on the other side of the hill. The women dived into the water and came out on the other side to fly up into the sky. Wati Nyiru followed them into the water and when he came out on the other side he was too late. Now, Wati Nyiru can be seen to the south of the seven sisters, as he still chases them across the sky.
The different colours represent the land and the various rockholes and sandhills.

We Accept
Andrea Adamson is a creative artist from the APY Lands in South Australia. She loves using a wide palette of colour when depicting the Seven Sisters story and has an uncanny ability to mix her paint colours to great effect. Using the classic APY style of dotting, Andrea applies her paint in a seemingly random way that tells a very complex and sacred story of the creation of her country by seven of the twelve sisters that her story talks about. These seven women created the features of the land as they fled from Wati Nyiru across the country by performing ceremony to trick him and hide from him. Andrea tells us that this country runs from Whyalla in the south right up past Uluru to Attila (Mt Connor) to the north.
Her profile is on the rise worldwide as galleries and collectors alike discover her amazing dipictions of this Anganu story. When visitors to the gallery meet Andrea, she delights in haring her stories with them and will often point out different features of the painting and explain their meanings. Andrea is definitely an artist to keep an eye on as her star rises, much like the stars of the Seven Sisters Dreaming.
