This vibrant artwork is by Carol Napaljarri Kitson who currently lives and paints in Yuendumu, a remote Aboriginal community 290 km northwest of Alice Springs.
The artwork has been hand painted and is perfect for decorating your home or office, making it a unique addition to any wall.
The artwork depicts Wanakiji Jukurrpa (Bush Tomato Dreaming) that travels through Yaturlu (near Mount Theo, north of Yuendumu). “Wanakiji” grows in open spinifex country and is a small, prickly plant with purple flowers that bears green fleshy fruit with many small black seeds. After collecting the fruit the seeds are removed with a small wooden spoon called ‘kajalarra’. The fruit then can be eaten raw or threaded onto skewers called ‘turlturrpa’ and then cooked over a fire. ‘Wanakiji’ can also be skewered and left to dry. When they are prepared in this way it is called ‘turlturrpa’ and the fruit can be kept for a long time. The Wanakiji Jukurrpa belongs to Napanangka/Napangardi women and Japanangka/Japangardi men.
