Paddy Japanangka Lewis Mina Mina Jukurrpa (Mina Mina Dreaming) 2007
Acrylic on linen 1220 x 610mm SOLD
The country of this Dreaming is Mina Mina, west of Yuendumu and significant to Japangardi and Japanangka men and Napangardi and Napanangka women who are the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created the area. The Jukurrpa story tells of the journey of a group of women of all ages who travelled to the east gathering food, collecting Ngalyipi (Tinospora smilacina or snake vine) and performing ceremonies as they travelled. The women began their journey at Mina Mina where Karla-ngu (digging sticks) emerged from the ground. Taking these implements the women travelled east creating Janyinki and other sites. Their journey took them eventually beyond Warlpiri country.The central motif in this painting is the salt lake at Mina Mina. |
