Story: This image depicts some of Lucy’s country far to the south of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert. This
country is known as Punyarnita ,and is named for the soakwater, or tjurrnu, featured in the centre of the
painting. Tali, or sand dunes, dominate the landscape of the area, while purra (bush tomato), tjunta (bush onion)
and karnti (bush potato) are commonly found here. The small dots depict the variety of these foods. The U
shapes represent women performing ceremony to ensure the bush foods will remain abundant and maintain their
strong connections with country.Lucy said that Kannadjuradtja is a deep ‘living water’ well in solid stone and
is special. ceremony takes place here and is important as a Tjakurrpa site. The environment is rich with bush
food including yams, bush tomato, bush potato, bush onion etc., which Lucy depicts with rich textural effects in
her painting. Women sing and dance for ceremony to produce abundant food and maintain strong kinship with
the land and family.
