Mitjili Napurrula   Uwalki: Watiya Tjuta   2007
Acrylic on Belgian linen   1200 x 1800mm  SOLD
This painting is a representation of the trees that provide wood for spears and other wooden objects as part of Tjukurrpa,
the women's side of the men’s spear straightening dreaming. Uwalki is the country where the trees are found and is part of
the country of the artist’s mother. The area around Kintore is rich in bush foods that include seeds and berries as well as
turkeys and kangaroos. This dreaming was taught to the artist by her mother.
