This original Aboriginal artwork by Michael Japaljarri Wayne depicts Yankirri Jukurrpa, also known as Emu Dreaming.

Yankirri Jukurrpa is a Warlpiri Dreaming story connected to the emu, its movements across Country and the ancestral stories associated with the landscape. In Aboriginal art, Dreaming stories are often represented through traditional symbols, tracks, repeated patterning and dot work that reflect the journey, presence and significance of ancestral beings.

The long 76 x 30cm format gives this artwork a strong and elegant shape, making it a lovely option for a narrow wall, hallway, shelf space or grouped display. It can work beautifully as a standalone piece, especially in a space where a wider artwork may not suit.

Michael Japaljarri Wayne is an Aboriginal artist whose work is connected to Warlpiri Jukurrpa stories and Country. His paintings carry cultural storytelling through contemporary Aboriginal art, making this a meaningful original artwork for a home, office or special Australian gift.
