Description: " Ngapa Jukurrpa Puyrurru (Water Dreaming)"by Mickey Jampijinpa Singleton ready to hang Australian Aboriginal painting stretched measurements: 23 5/8" x 18" original acrylic with Certificate of Authenticitypurples, pinks, yellows, oranges, blacks, and whites About the painting: The site depicted in this painting is Puyurru, west of Yuendumu. In the usually dry creek beds are soakages, or naturally occurring wells. Two Jangala men, rainmakers, sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm. It travelled across the country with the lightning struking the land. This storm met up with another storm from Wapurtali, to the west, was picked up by 'kirrkarlan' (brown falcon [Falco berigora]) and carried further west until it dropped the storm at Purlungyanu, where it created a giant soakage. At Puyurru, the bird dug up a giant ‘warnayarra’ (rainbow serpent). The serpent carried water with it to create another large lake, Jillyiumpa, close to an outstation in this country. The ‘kirda’ (owners) of this story are Jangala men and Nangala women. After stopping at Puyurru, the water Dreaming travelled on through other locations including Yalyarilalku, Mikilyparnta, Katalpi, Lungkardajarra, Jirawarnpa, Kamira, Yurrunjuku, and Jikaya before moving on into Gurindji country to the north. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography is used to represent the ‘Jukurrpa’ (Dreaming). Short dashes are often used to represent ‘mangkurdu’ (cumulus & stratocumulus clouds), and longer, flowing lines represent ‘ngawarra’ (flood waters). Small circles are used to depict ‘mulju’ (soakages) and river bed.
