Willy Nakanbala Tjungarayi Marapulpa Tjukurrpa (Funnel Web Spider) 2009
Acrylic on canvas 1220 x 710mm SOLD
The spider created tunnels “roads” through which the ancestral wallabies travelled under the ground from a place called
Yarrungkanyi (Northwest of Yuendumu) towards the west. The wallabies emerged at Tjunyinpa(west of Kintore) and there
spread across the surrounding country.
The circles represent the spiders’ holes that the spiders made in the ground of that place.
