This Aboriginal artwork depicts the story of the women that danced in celebrations of the 'mulju' (Summer rains) at the Mina Mina, a very important women's Dreaming site in the Northern Territory of Australia, while collecting 'karlangu' (digging sticks). Their journey took them to far lands across the Northern Territory - from the west to the east of Yuendumu - creating many places as they went, while dancing, digging, and collecting many ceremonial elements, such as 'parraja' carrying vessels made from 'ngalyipi', the snake vine that grows on the desert oak tree known as 'kurrkara'. The Napangardi women embraced the opportunity to be with one another, and when they stopped, they delighted in bush tucker from the area, like the delicious desert truffle 'jintiparnta'. The Dreaming track eventually took them far beyond Warlpiri country, into Queensland. In Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa and other elements. In many paintings of this Jukurrpa, sinuous lines are used to represent the 'ngalyipi' (snake vine). Concentric circles are often used to represent the 'jintiparnta' (desert truffles) that the women have collected, while straight lines can be used to depict the 'karlangu' (digging sticks). Available in either Stretched only, Black, White, Walnut or as depicted, Oak frames. In either 90x90 or 120x120cm. Pricing listed here is the retail pricing for the 90x90 framed print.
