The Story

Egg Lacquerware Ornamental -MNA339

Artist: Mitjili Napurrula

Mitjili paints the Watiya Tjuta tree. Mitjili’s style is unique and recognisable. The Watiya Tjuta in Mitjili's paintings is her father's Tjukurrpa (dreaming) in Ilyingaungau country (Gibson Desert). This was passed down to her by her mother, Tjunkayi Napaltjareri when story telling, using the same to draw the story as it is told in the traditional way. After I got married, my mother taught me my father's Tjukurrpa in the sand, that's what I'm painting on the canvas, a women's interpretation.
