Artist Statement
This painting depicts designs associated with a group of senior women sitting around the rockhole at Umari, east of the Kiwirrkura Community. The women have been gathering the edible seeds known as wangunu or woollybutt (Eragrostis eriopoda) which are ground and mixed with water to a thick paste and formed into a type of damper which is cooked in the ashes. The women, who are represented by the "U"shapes, later travelled east to Pinari, north of Kintore.
