The Artwork Story Ngapa Jukurrpa – Wapurtali Fire & Rain Dreaming This beautiful design is adapted from an authentic Aboriginal artwork by Phyllis Napurrurla Williams, a highly regarded Aboriginal artist who paints with the world-acclaimed Warlukurlangu Artists at Yuendumu. Yuendumu is a remote Aboriginal community located on the ancestral homelands of the Warlpiri people, in the Tanami Desert region of Central Australia. Founded in 1985, the Aboriginal-owned Warlukurlangu art centre is an important stronghold for the preservation of Warlpiri traditional culture and language. This Ngapa Jukurrpa, or Water Dreaming, comes from Wapurtali, also known as Mt Singleton, west of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. The Water Dreaming story has been passed down through many generations over tens of thousands of years. For the Warlpiri, a desert-dwelling people, water is the essence of all life. Seasonal rain events are deeply significant, bringing renewal to the arid desert landscape and forming an important part of Warlpiri storytelling, cultural knowledge and connection to Country. The custodians of this Dreaming are women and men of the Nakamarra/Napurrurla and Jakamarra/Jupurrurla clan groups. The story tells of a marlu, or kangaroo, cooked at a place called Jalkirri. The smoke from the fire formed milpirri, or storm clouds, bringing rain to the arid desert country. Through vivid colour and rhythmic movement, Phyllis Napurrurla Williams’ artwork evokes the powerful connection between fire, rain, Country and ancestral story. The result is a radiant wearable art piece that is both beautiful and deeply meaningful. Learn more about the artist: Phyllis Napurrurla Williams
