Imelda is the first child born to Lucy Yukenbarri and Helicopter Tjungurrayi. In this painƟng Imelda has depicted
her mother's country south of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert called Winpurpurla named aŌer a tjurrnu
(soakwater). Winpurpurla is an inta (living water) place so it always has good water. Imelda's mother passed this
story on to her. There where three skin groups travelling from south, Nungarrayi, Nampitjin and Napangarti. They
were travelling to Winpurpurla to collect a variety of kumpupatja (bush tomato), which when exposed to sun,
change to the off white colour in this painting and are ready to harvest. They also came to harvest bush rasins,
represented by the orange dots. The women saw the rocky hill that harboured the tjurnu. The people who were
living in Winpurpurla came to them and welcomed them. When the women came near to the tjurnu they stood
there singing and then kneeled down near the waters edge. Before the women could drink water they had to
drop rocks in the water. Only after they had done this could they enjoy drinking the cool water. They were all
happy, singing and sharing food.
