(’Dreamings’) so the children would not forget their culture and stories. In 2000, two of these
artists, Paddy Sims & Paddy Stewart undertook to produce 30 etchings based on the original
Yuendumu Doors designs. The etchings were launched in 2001, to great acclaim with the set
winning the Telstra, 16th National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Award, for works on
paper.
PADDY JAPALJARRI SIMS
Paddy was born in about 1917 at Kunajarray (Mt Nicker), south-west of Yuendumu at a site where
a number of Dreaming tracks interconnect. Japaljarri's Dreamings are Yiwarra (Milky Way),
ngarlkirdi/warna (witchetty grub/snake), pirntirna (female python), jilwirringki (burrowing skunk),
wanakiji (bush plum) and warlpa (wind).
Paddy has been painting for Warlukurlangu for a long time. In 1988 Paddy Sims was selected by
The Power Gallery, Sydney University to travel to Paris with five other Warlpiri men from
Yuendumu to create a ground painting installation at the exhibition 'Magiciens de la Terre' at the
Centre Georges Pompidou. The trip took place in May 1989 and the painting was received with
world wide acclaim. Paddy was also one of the senior male artists who worked on the Yuendumu
Doors.
He has painted and exhibited regularly with Warlukurlangu Artists both nationally and
internationally since 1985. His work has been included in numerous general exhibitions of
Aboriginal art including Dreaming: The Art of Aboriginal Australia, The Asia Society Galleries, New
York, 1988; The Continuing Tradition, Australian National Gallery, Canberra, 1989; Mythscapes:
Aboriginal Art of the Desert, National Gallery of Victoria, Melbourne, 1989; Lete Australian
Montpellier, Musee Fabre, France, 1990. Paddy Japaljarri Sims is featured in the collections of
Major Art Institutions in Australia and around the world.
