Ngapa Jukurrpaby Steven Jangala Hargraves
The site depicted in this painting is Pirlinyarnu just outside of Yuendumu in Central Australia. The owners of this Dreaming are the Nangala and Nampjinpa women and the Jangala and Jampijinpa men. The Dreaming tells of two Jangala men, rainmakers, who sang the rain unleashing a giant storm. The storm collided with another one before it was picked up by Kirrkarlanji (A Brown Falcon) who carried it from Mirawirri. The two storms travelled to a ceremonial site called Karlipirnpa. The storm eventually became to heavy for the falcon to carry it so he dropped it at Pirlinyarnu where it formed an enormous claypan. A water soakage exists in this place today and whenever it rains bush ducks flock there.
In contemporary Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, its elements and associated sites. Short dashes are often used to represent clouds, longer flowing lines represent flood waters and smaller circles represent water soakages and riverbeds.
