This site is associated with a Kampurarrpa (desert raisin) Dreaming and the rocky outcrop at Wirrulnga is said to have been formed from mounds of the kampurarrpa berries. During mythological times a group of women camped at Wirrulnga, while they performed the dances and sang the songs associated with the area. They also gathered the kampurarrpa berries which grow on the small shrub Solanum Centrale, before travelling north west to the site of Wilkinkarra (Lake MacKay). The rows of parallel lines in the painting represent the sandhills which surround the site of Wirrulnga."- Papunya Tula Artists Yakari was the widow of Simon Tjakamarra who painted for Papunya Tula Artists from the late 1970s until his death in 1990.

        Yakari Napaltjarri - Tjuntulpul

        Est: $500 - $800

        Yakari Napaltjarri is a Pintupi artist who was born west of the current day Kiwirrkurra community. She was one of the last Desert nomads to come out of the desert in 1984, along with renowned artists and Wallimpirringa and his brothers Walala and Thomas Tjapaltjarri and their respective families. The roundels in this painting show the rockholes at Tjuntulpul, west of the Kiwirrkura. The surrounding line work depicts the sandhills adjacent to these sites. The mythology of the region tells of a group of women, represented here by the U-shaped spaces, who camped here before travelling east to Marrapinti. During their travels, they gathered the edible berries known as kampurarrpa, or desert raisin, from the small shrub solanum centrale. These berries can be eaten straight from the bush, but are also ground into a paste and cooked in the coals to form a type of damper. The women continued their travels further east, passing through the nearby rockhole site of Wirrulnga before travelling north-west to Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay).
