The artwork is by Indigenous Artist Kylie Napangardi Williams. Kylie paints for Warlukurlangu Artists, an Aboriginal owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu, a remote community 290 km northwest of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia.
Kylie paints the Yarla Jukurrpa (Bush Potato Dreaming).In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements.
This Jukurrpa belongs to men of the Japaljarri/Jungarrayi subsections and to Napaljarri/Nungarrayi women. It comes from an area to the east of Yuendumu called Cockatoo Creek. ‘Yarla’ (bush potato) are fibrous tubers that grow beneath a low spreading plant, found by looking for cracks in the ground. This edible tuber grows from ‘yartura’ (roots) which seek out moisture to spout new plants. Yarla are good to eat, when cooked they are really soft and tasty. The Jukurrpa tells of ‘yarla’ and ‘wapirti’ (bush carrot) ancestors fighting a big battle in this area. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements.
