"Ngayulu paintamilalpai ngayuku ngunytjuku Ngura munu Tjukurpa minyma tjutatjara." (I paint my mother's Country and its stories
about many women). - Muna Kulyuru 2023
In this painting Muna Kulyuru has painted her mother's father's country, Watarru, in the Anangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara (APY) Lands in South Australia. Muna depicts her Tjamu's (grandfather's) Country and the Tjukurpa (Dreaming) that animates it, relaying the narrative of minyma tjuta Tjukurpa - the story of many women - as it relates to the fire Tjukurpa, capturing their journeys as they travel across the Country, singing, dancing, and creating the landscape as they go.
Through rich patchworks of dots and intersecting lines Muna renders the rock formations and landmarks of her Tjamu's Country in stretching swathes of vibrant colour and form, punctuated with iconography and intersecting lines relating to inma (ceremonial dance) and ancestral stories.
