South Australian Region

I know that most aboriginal art is thought to come from the Northern Territory or Western Australia but I thought I would look further in the South Australian region as I don't know much about it. 


The Amata community is located in far northern South Australia on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Aboriginal Lands.
Much of the imagery in Amata paintings is based on the designs first used by artists in their 'punu' or wood carvings. The punu, decorated with linear burn marks in repetitive curves, continue to be produced by the Amata people.[10]


Some of the artists and works:
