About the Item
Phyllis Thomas was born at a place called Riyarr on the Turner River, south east of Purnululu. When young she worked on Turner Station looking after poultry, gardening, grinding salt and carting water from the well. However she often preferred to run away into the bush with the old women to hunt, collect dingo scalps and look for gold. Phyllis is a Gija woman of Nagarra skin, whose bush name, Booljoonngali, means ‘big rain coming down with lots of wind’.
She began painting when Freddie Timms set up the Jirrawun Aboriginal Arts group in 1998. Her work achieved almost immediate success, depicting Ngarranggarni (Dreaming) places and bush tucker from Roogoon (Crocodile Hole) area as well as the country around the middle reaches of the Ord and Turner Rivers where she was born.
Phyllis was represented in the National Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander Art Awards (NATSIAA) in 1999 with a stunning picture of Boornbem Goorlem, Hot Water Spring II. Her work has been acquired by a number of collectors and galleries including a special focus purchase of five paintings by the Art Gallery of Western Australia (AGWA) in 2000.
Her painting The Escape was highly commended in the seventeenth NATSIAA in 2000, and was purchased as part of the Museum and Art Gallery of Northern Territory’s Telstra Collection. An eight panel series on the same subject was shown at Raft Artspace in Darwin in 2002 and was purchased by AGWA in 2003.
