Tjulpun-tjulpunpa This image is taken from Mrs Robin’s painting exhibited in Tjulpun-Tjulpunpa Art – vistas of wildflower country at the Adelaide Festival Centre, January, 2008. The environment is thriving with life after the rains, with yellow, pink and white tjulpun tjulpunpa (wildflowers). As a senior Anangu woman, Mrs Robin knows her country intimately and is custodian of the knowledge of countless generations of Anangu who have thrived in the unpredictable Australian desert. Tjayangka (Antjala) Robin is a traditional Aboriginal elder. Tjayangka (Antjala) was born ‘out bush’ into her small family group. She lived and travelled with her family, learning abut bush tucker and hunting, before settling at the Ernabella Uniting Church Mission. In Ernabella Tjayangka went to school before taking up some arts practice, spinning and dying wool, making rugs and clothes and working with kangaroo skins and learning how to use a sewing machine. Tjayangka moved to Mimili, east of Fregon and had three children, two girls and one boy. She travelled throughout the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Lands, working in different places. Later, her family settled in Fregon, where Antjala started work in the clinic and the school. Her unique style often depicts the environment of the Walalkara homelands where she lives with her husband Robin Kankapankatja.
