Ngapa Dreaming (Water Dreaming), 2023
$1,850.00
The site depicted in this painting is Puyurra, west of Yuendumu. In the usually dry creek beds, are mulju (soakages), or naturally occurring wells. The kirda (owners) for this site are nangala/nampijinpa women and jangala/jampijinpa men. Two jangala men rainmakers sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm. The storm travelled across the country from the east to the west, initially travelling with a Pamapardu Jukurrpa (Termite Dreaming) from Warntungurru to Warlura, a waterhole eight miles east of Yuendumu. At Warluru, a gecko called Yumariyumari blew the storm on to Lapurrukurra and Wilpiri. Bolts of lightning shot out at Wirnpa (also called Mardinymardinypa) and at Kanaralji. At this point, the Dreaming track also includes the Kurukurdu Mankardu Jukurrpa (Children of Cloud Dreaming). The water Dreaming built hills at Ngamangama using baby clouds and also stuck long pointy clouds into the ground at Jukajuka, where they can still be seen today.
