Warmun Art Centre
Rammey Ramsey is a senior Gija man of Jungoora skin, whose ancestral Country lies to the west of Bedford Downs near Elgee Cliffs. Ramsey says: “This is my place called Warlawoon. They named me Warlawoon for my Country here. There is a Dreamtime waterhole there, a place where many fish live.”
Lindsay Malay is a Gija man. His grandfather’s country is on Corolla Cattle Station (Old Bedford Downs) and his grandmother’s country is Yulumbu (Tableland Station), Warlawoon Country. Lindsay connects with his Country through his own painting and work assisting the older artists.
Kathy Ramsay is one of Warmun Art Centre’s most prolific emerging artists carrying on the legacy of her artistic family. She is the daughter of artists Rammey and Mona Ramsey, and the granddaughter of the late Timmy Timms. Of her work Kathy says “. . . I just paint what my old people told me about our Country – because they are the ones who know the history of our Country, the Country we’re still connected to today. Our Country really knows us, and it owns us.”
Tracey Ramsay was born in Wyndham and grew up in her ancestral Juwurlinji Community known as Bow River. Tracey is an emerging artist from a family of great artists. Her parents are Rammey and Mona Ramsey, and her sister is Kathy Ramsay.
The exhibition runs from 17 October - 7 November
