Sandra Napanangka Frank was born in 1990 in the Health Clinic in Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community 290 km north-west of Alice Springs in the Northern Territory of Australia.  Sandra has been painting with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation, an Aboriginal owned and governed art centre located in Yuendumu, since 2009. She paints her mother’s Jukurrpa stories, Dreamings which relate directly to her land, its features and the plants and animals that inhabit it. These stories were passed down to her by her mother and her mother’s mother before her for millennia. Sandra uses an unrestricted palette to develop a modern interpretation of her traditional culture. When Sandra is not painting she likes to spend time with her daughter or go hunting on the week-end for bush tucker. She also likes to visit Yuendumu to drop off her artwork and pick up canvas, paint and brushes and shop at the local store

The Dreaming, (Jukurrpa) behind this painting belongs to the Nakamarra & Napurrurla women and the Jakamarra/Japurrurla men. The Dreaming is associated with a place called Jaralypari which is found to the north of Yuendumu in Central Australia. Lukarrara (Desert Fringe Rush) is a grass with an edible seed. The seeds are traditionally ground on a large stone with a smaller stone, Ngatinyanu and Ngalikirri, to make flour. This flour is mixed with water to make damper cakes which are cooked and eaten.
