Title: Untitled

ID: IW6250

Medium: Acrylic on Belgian Linen

Size: 190x124 cm

Artist: Walangkura Napanangka

This work depicts the mythological events of her ancestors. Her work focuses on the travels of her female ancestors, the sacred sites that they passed, and the mythological significance of the bush tucker that they collected. The designs are associated with the rock hole sites of Palturunya and Wirrulnga, east of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia.

  • The concentric circles represent rock holes and the arcs represent the higher rocky outcrops near the site
  • The U shapes represent women camped at the site.

In mythological times, one old woman, Kutunga Napanangka, passed through this site during her travels towards the east. She passed through numerous sites along the way before arriving at the permanent water site of Muruntji, south west of Mt.Leibig. These travels and rituals help to explain the current customs and the ceremonial lives of these Pintupi women.
