Item Overview

Description

This important painting by senior Aboriginal artist Nyukul Dawson (deceased) depicts the journey of the Two Sisters dreaming (Minyma Kutjara). He talks of the two girls are travelling north together; the older girl is taking her sister to meet her family for the first time (she grew up with another family further south towards the Great Australian Bight). The further away the girls travelled from the younger girl's adoptive home, the more upset the young girl became. The older girl would tell her stories and piggy-back her. They would stop to do dances (inma) and make digging sticks. This story is especially important to women and some parts of it are only told in whispers. Near Irrunytju, the girls stopped to make traditional hair belts in preparation for a ceremony. Their forms can still be seen in the hills near Irrunytju, and there is a rockhole where they threw their digging sticks. Dawson was one of the founding artists of Irrunytju and was a highly respected bush man.
