Nyanu Watson is painting the Anumara tjukurpa (Caterpillar dreaming). Anumara is a place near Irrunytju (Wingellina) in Western Australia and the tjukurpa for this place is Caterpillar dreaming. This caterpillar lives in the grass and can be eaten if the grass it eats is removed first. Anumara is the same colours as the caterpillar brown, yellow and pale green. This is an important place and must be kept safe for the caterpillars to grow, for this reason the Anumara tjukurpa is secret.

"Tree country, grass country and sand country, also lots of stones and really big mountains, rocky ones. Anumara there green,
brown, yellow coloured ones. This Tjukurpa is a dangerous one, secret story"
