DONNA NUNGURRAYI
This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Umari, situated in sandhill country, east of Mt. Webb in Western Australia. The tali (sandhills) are represented in the painting by the parallel lines.
A large group of ancestral women travelled east from Umari to the rockhole site of Pinari, which is north west of the Kintore community. As they travelled the women 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 sometimes ground into a paste and cooked in the coals to form a type of damper.
From Pinari the women continued their travels towards the east to the site Kalipinpa, a major water dreaming site north of Sandy Blight Junction.
