Bush Tomato Dreamingby Melissa Napangardi Williams
The Wanakiji Jukurrpa or Bush Tomato Dreaming travels through Yaturlu. Wanakiji grows in open spinifex country and is a small prickly plant with purple flowers that bears green fleshy fruit. The seeds are removed with a small wooden spoon called Kajalarra. The fruit then can be eaten raw or threaded onto skewers called Turlturrpa and then cooked over a fire. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography can be used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites and other elements.
