Melissa Nungarrayi Larry Yumari Jukurrpa (Yumari Dreaming) 2007
Acrylic on cotton 610 x 460mm SOLD
The site for this dreaming is Yumari, a collection of rocks west of Kintore in the Gibson Desert. Yumari is the site
of a forbidden love union between a Japaljarri man and a Nangala woman. This dreaming was passed down to
the artist by a Pintupi man. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the
Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements and in this work concentric circles represent Warnirri (rock holes).
