(’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.
