This original artwork is by talented Indigenous Artist Omay Nampijinpa Gallagher from Nyrippiri in the Northern Territory.
Ormay's work depicts a particular site of the Yankirri Jukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) at Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu. The emu travelled to the rockhole at Ngarlikurlangu to find water. This dreamtime belongs to Jangala/Jampijinpa men and Nangala /Nampijinpa women. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. Emus are usually represented by their footprints, arrow like shapes, that show them walking around Ngarlikiurlangu eating bush raisins. In the time of the Dreaming there was a fight at the site between an emu ancestor and an Australian bustard ancestor over sharing the bush raisin. There is also a dance for this Dreaming that is performed during initiation ceremonies
A beautiful painting for your home or office and a unique Australian souvenir to remember your travels.
