Ngapa Jukurrpaby Lynette Nangala Singleton
The site depicted in this painting is Puyurru, west of Yuendumu in Central Australia. It is a significant place for Shanna and her family. Puyurru is usually dry creek beds. The Jukurrpa talks of two Jangala men who were rainmakers, they would sing the rain, unleashing a giant storm. The storm travelled across the country initially travelling with Pamapardu (Termite). At a place called Warlura, a gecko called Yumariyumari blew the storm on. Bolts of lightning shot out at Wirnpa and Kanaralji. At this point the Dreaming track also includes the Kurdukurdu Mangkurdu Jukurrpa (Children of the Clouds Dreaming). The Water Dreaming built hills at Ngamangama using baby clouds and also stuck long pointy clouds into the ground at Jukajuka, where they can still be seen today as rock formations. The Termite Dreaming continues along.
In Contemporary Warlpiri paintings, tradional icongraphy is used to represent the Jukurrpa. Short dashes are often used to represent mankurdu and long flowing lines represent Ngawarra. Small cirlces are used to depict Mulju.
