About Kapitu Kapitu

This painting depicts a series of underground water sites that belong to the artist's husband, which he and Pulpurru used to travel between, kapitu-kapitu, water to water. Yirrilngya, Patatantja- large claypan, Tjangi-a site with four rockholes, Kutjarranya and Kurrutjiti- one deep hole with cold water.
Wandantjarri area features a big, deep hole which Tingarri poeple, men, women and children drank from and camped near. One time a wedge tailed eagle (warlawurru) with a face like a man swooped down, and took a young child (titji). That is part of the tjukurpa at this site.
