(’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 Stewart
Paddy Japaljarri Stewart is from Mungapunju, just south of Yuendumu. When he was a young man
he was a station worker at Mt Allen, Mt Dennison and up the top end. He worked as a chef in
Papunya, hence his nickname ‘Cookie’. For a very long time now he has been living in Yuendumu.
Cookie worked at the Yuendumu school teaching young kids, both kardiya and yapa (non aboriginal
and aboriginal). He taught painting, jukurrpa (dreaming), tracking (dingo, kangaroo, goanna etc...),
how to make wax for the sand painting, dancing, making boomerangs and many other important
culture traditions. Each day Paddy drove the school bus that collected the kids. He was also
involved in the council here and in Night Patrol. Night Patrol has been absolutely invaluable as a
yapa (aboriginal) policing body. Cookie has been drawing and painting for a long time, including
working on the Yuendumu School Doors. He is presently the chairman for the Warlukurlangu
Artists Committee, and paints regularly.
In 1988 Paddy Stewart 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 Japaljarri Stewart has been exhibiting
artwork since 1985 throughout Australia & around the world; including exhibitions in France, USA,
Germany, UK, French Polynesia & Amsterdam. Paddy Japaljarri Stewart is featured in the
collections of Major Art Institutions in Australia and around the world.
