Artwork Story

Ngayuku ngunytjuku ngura (this is my mother’s country). This place is called Nyunmun, Walawaru Tjukurpa (the ancestral wedge-tailed eagle creation story). Karu munu kapi tjukula (there is a creek and deep rockholes). Ukiri munu tali tjuta (the green grass is coming up in the sandy desert country). This place is close to Kuru Ala, a sacred place for the Seven Sisters.

Tjungu Palya artists have collaborated with Basil Hall, a master printmaker who has, for over 15 years specialised in working with Indigenous artists to produce limited editions of etchings, relief prints and silkscreens on paper. © Tjungu Palya Art Centre 2009.
