Artwork Story

The print depicts designs associated with Kapi Tjukurrpa (Water Dreaming) at Kalipinypa a sight northwest of Sandy Blight Junction, Western Australia. 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. The different elements of the image represent puuli (hills), tali (sandhills) and kapi (water). The arrow shapes represent the footprints of the white heron that frequents the site.

This print was produced by Cicada Press at the University of New South Wales, College of Fine Arts.
