Artwork Story
The print depicts designs associated with Kapi Tjukurrpa (Water Dreaming) at Kalipinypa, a site northwest of Kintore. The tjukurrpa tells of an important rain making ceremony to invoke the elements. It is a powerful storm bringing on the lightning, thunderclouds and rain sending its deluge to rejuvenate the earth, filling rock holes, clay pans and creeks. It has the power to create new life and growth upon the land.
This print was made during workshops in collaboration with Cicada Press at the College of Fine Arts at the University of New South Wales. Papunya Tjupi has developed an ongoing working relationship Michael Kempson, the director of Cicada Press since it’s inception in 2007 through several work shops conducted both in Papunya and in Sydney. This relationship is part of a collaborative partnership of artistic and cultural exchange between the university and the Papunya Tjupi Art Centre.
