Mitjili Napurrula Untitled 2001?
Acrylic on linen 615 x 1215mm $1950
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. The hills of Kintore are often painted in the painting. This dreaming was taught to the artist by her
mother.
