Seven Sisters Collaborative (from the Seven sisters series) 2011–2012

This work was made by each of the seven sisters, all creating their own star separately at the very start of the project. After gathering and talking together about the story of the seven stars, they sat apart and painted their own personal star onto acetate. These individual stars were arranged on the etching plate.

Nyapanyapa Yunupingu supplied the background imagery again using acetate but this time with a small paint pen. The collaboration of these stars is now a constellation. Each star is as unique as the different personalities of the seven sisters which go to make up this formidable unit.
