      • Pulpurru Davies - Nyukur, west of Mina Mina
        Jun. 23, 2020

        Pulpurru Davies - Nyukur, west of Mina Mina

        Est: $4,000 - $6,000

        Pulpurru Davies grew up living a traditional, nomadic life with her family, as they moved from waterhole to waterhole in their traditional country. They lived this way up until the 1960s, by which time they were one of the last groups of nomadic people in Australia. This painting depicts a part of the Wati Kutjara (Two Men) Dreaming myth, which takes place at Nyukur, a site with two rockholes west of Mina Mina. Two women are confronted by the Wati Kutjarra, who want to see what they are carrying. The women hide their special possessions underneath them as they sit down. The men travel on towards Lake Kulutjarra, where they find mingkurlpa (bush tobacco) before heading back towards Mulayaritjan to see the women again. They watch them cry and sing. One of them has lost her special dog, which is white like Pintalypa (bush tomato before it is ripe). She is wailing for her dog and singing to her female companion: "Where are we going to look, where can he be?" as they walk this way and that, searching in circles.

      •  Pulpurru Davies (1943-) Kiwarr
        Jun. 04, 2019

         Pulpurru Davies (1943-) Kiwarr

        Est: $600 - $800

        Pulpurru grew up living a traditional, nomadic way of life with her family as they moved from waterhole to waterhole in their traditional country. They lived this way up until the 1960s, by which time they were one of the last groups of nomadic people in Australia. In this painting Pulpurru has depicted Kiwarr, a rockhole where her family used to dig for water. The water is sometimes very deep under the sand and all the family would have to help dig. One person would be down the hole, passing a wooden dish above their head to someone outside to throw the sand clear. Pulpurru has painted this country after a big rain and created a wash, funnelling water to a slight depression. Nearby, there are caves made by a ninu (bilby) digging for minga (ants). Other rockholes that are Pulpurru's family water sites are also shown, including her birth place Yankaltjunku, Nyukurda and Mirra Mirra, where one of Pulpurru's sons was born.

         Pulpurru Davies (1943-) Nyukur 2006

        Est: $1,000 - $1,500

        Pulpurru grew up living a traditional, nomadic way of life with her family as they moved from waterhole to waterhole in their traditional country. They lived this way up until the 1960s, by which time they were one of the last groups of nomadic people in Australia. This painting depicts a small part of the Wati Kutjara (Two Men) Dreaming myth which takes place at Nyukur, a site with two rockholes west of Mina Mina. Two women are confronted by the Wati Kutjarra who want to see what they are carrying. The women hide their special possessions underneath them as they sit down.
