Kun Kun

Set of six coasters made in heat, stain and scratch resistant melamine with 3.2mm hardboard and cork backing, featuring a detailed section from the collaborative work ‘Kun Kun’ by Martumili Artists Nora Nungabar, Nora Wompi, Bugai Whyoulter and Kumpaya Girgaba.

The central water in this painting is Kuny Kuny (Kun Kun), an important women’s site belonging to the Marlu Jukurrpa (Kangaroo Dreaming). This Jukurrpa is also significant within men’s law and contains elements restricted to initiated men and women.

Despite the title, there are 57 named sites in this painting, 11 of which are Canning Stock Route wells. These are places where the artists lived, where family members were born and died, and where ancestral beings left their power.
