Abstract: Anmatyerre elder and artist Emily Kame Kngwarreye (19101996) of the Utopia community, Northern Territory, Australia, featured the growth patterns of the pencil yam (Vigna lanceolata) prominently in works such as Untitled (Yam) (1981), Anooralya Wild Yam (1989) and Yam Dreaming (1996) as well as a number of black-and-white renderings.

Like two overlapping elements in a Venn diagram and the colonial encounter itself, Aboriginality figures indigenous and non-indigenous as coming into existence for each other at points of intersection.16, Aboriginality, then, emerges as an interstitial area for cultural interchange and contemporary art becomes a means for staging the aporia of the contemporary: Indigenous art is contemporary art is non-Indigenous art. Contemporary art mediates between Indigenous and non-Indigenous claims to the contemporary, with all the complexity of colonial history and current repression that it entails.17. , her paintings are agential things-in-themselves, like the plants they engage that intervenes the.
