Emily Nampijinpa Hudson Sold at Auction Prices

Emily is an exciting artist from Yuendumu. She paints Yarungkanyi Jukurrpa (Mt Doreen Dreaming).

Yarrungkanyi is the Mt Doreen area north west of Yuendumu. Dreamtime people lived in the area, digging for 'ngarlajiyi' (bush carrot [Vigna lanceolata]). In doing so they created a creek that flows north to Jurlpungu. Women are shown seated picking 'ngamirdamirdi' (lifesaver burr [Sida platycalyx]), which is a low-growing prickle. The women would thread the Ngamirdamirdi onto sticks to make hair combs. The women were travelling south to Yukurra.
