Ngapa Jukurrpaby Phyllis Napurrurla Williams
The site depicted in this painting is Pirlinyarnu (Mount Farewell). Two Jangala men, rainmarkers, sang the rain, unleashing a gaint storm that collided with another storm from Wapurtali. The two storms travelled together across the country from Karlipinpa near Kintore. A Kirrkarlanji (Brown Falcon) carried the storm further west until it dropped the storm at Pirlinyarnu forming an enormous maliri. A Mulju exists in this place today. At Puyurru the bird dug up a Warnayarra (Serpent). The serpent carried water with it to create another large lake.

Artist
Phyllis Napurrurla Williams comes from Mount Doreen Station, about 55km from Yuendumu in Central Australia. As a small child Phyllis went bush with her family learning all about her country. For a while she worked at Mount Doreen Station, then she moved to Yuendumu and now she lives in Nyirripi, once an outstation of Yuendumu but now a small remote Aboriginal community. She is a widow and as no children. Phyllis has been painting since 1988 with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu, an Aboriginal community 290 km north-west of Alice Springs. Phyllis particularly likes painting Janganpa Jukurrpa (Brush Tail Possum Dreaming) but also paints other stories, stories that have been passed down to her by her father and her mother and their parents before them for millennia. When she’s not painting she loves to go hunting with members of the community for bush tucker.
