This painting is for the Nakamarra,
Jakamarra, Jupurrula and Napurrula skin groups. The bush potato is a major
food source and a very important Dreaming for the Warlpiri people. Women
(U shapes) are shown digging for yam with their coolamon dishes and digging
sticks. The bush potato plant is shown with its roots extending outwards.
They culminate in big bush potatoes, however along their
length smaller potato tubers are found. This dreaming took place at Duck
Ponds several hours east of Lajamanu. |
