Christine Yukenbarri Nakamarra Winpurpurla 2006
Acrylic on canvas 1000 x 500mm SOLD
Christine has painted some of her mother's country south of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert. This country is
named Winpurpurla after the tjurnnu (soakwater) depicted as the central circle in the painting. Winpurpurla is an
inta, or 'living water' place so it always has good water. Women often travel to Winpurpurla to collect a variety
of seeds including lukarrari which is ground to make damper and kumpupatja (bush tomato). The definate lines in
the painting represent the tali (sandhills) that dominate this country.
