Eunice Napanangka Jack depicts in her work Kuruyul

Eunice Napanangka Jack depicts in her work Kuruyultu. It's the country where she was born and which she left when she was about four years old. A country that is part of her Tjukurrpa (Dreaming), yet she hardly gets to go there as it's so far away from Ikuntji where she lives.
This print by her is limited edition, printed on Hahnemuehle paper by @basilhalleditions
You can get this or other limited edition prints by our artists via our website www.ikuntji.com.au and link in bio.

Sonja Jugadai paints this stunning work, which is available through our website www.ikuntji.com.au and link in bio.
This painting shows Karrkurrutintja (Lake Mcdonald in Pintpui), located west of Kintore along the Western Australia/Northern Territory border. This country is an important site of the Pilkati (snake) Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) of Kuniya Kutjarra (two carpet snakes, two brothers, two Tjangalas). This is the place where the snake lives and from which it travels to Haasts Bluff sometimes.

This is the country and Tjukurrpa of the artist’s mother, Narputta Nangala Jugadai, who was born there. Narputta was passed down this story from her father, Talaku Tjampitjinpa. Sonia’s Sister, Molly Jugadai, who has now passed away, also painted this same country. Narputta was one of the founding members of Ikuntji Artists, and has been painting since the beginning of the desert painting movement in the 1970s.

Kuniya Kitjarra (Two carpet snakes) as told by Narputta,

“Two Tjangalas were travelling, looking for meat. Their grandfather, Tiwil Tjangala, asked them for kaniya (carpet snake). They hid the snake under their feet, ‘No, We’ve got no meat.’ Tiwil turned around to make a fire and the two Tjangalas ran off with the snake. They were confronted by their father, Talaku Tjampitjinpa, and he said, ‘You boys are mad to play games with your grandfather’. The grandfather ht them both on the head with a stone axe, and killed them. They’re loying on their bellies, at Karrkurrutintj, near Lampintja, in the salt lake (the older brother in front, the younger brother behind). That’s the story I put on the canvas. The colours that I put on remind me of this story.”
