Colours Through The Rocks
In Yindjibarndi country there are many different shaped rock formations. It looks like a truck has tipped a huge pile of rocks. At different times of the day, especially in the evening sunset, you will see the beautiful colours changing across the face of the rocks which compliments the soft spinifex growing through the country.

Buluwana (Kuninjku Spirit Woman) 2022
Abigail and her late mother, the renowned Kuninjku fibre and textile artist Jennifer Wurrkidj created this design together. Ruth said her mum was telling the story of Buluwana while they were sitting and drawing.
“She’s an old lady from our ancestor creation time, before mimih spirits roamed the land. Her skin name is Wamutjan– she is from the Dhuwa moiety. When the mimih came to our country, she turned into stone out Yikarrakkal and Manmoyi way.
She lives in a sacred place, where she turned to stone she lives there now forever. She is an important woman for my people.
I draw her because she my dreaming. I can’t tell the full story about Buluwana, because it’s a little bit secret, but it’s okay for me to paint her and share these parts. My people can know the full Buluwana story, and the djungkay (caretaker) can tell the full Buluwana story too.” J. Wurrkidj

Welebme (flat stone), giri-giri (thorne), & kono (flowers)
‘I wanted to create this drawing, telling my kids and husbands dreaming story. I want to keep the story alive for my grandchildren so when they grow up, they can learn their families stories. I always tell my granddaughter about the work i’m doing so she can know and keep it in her mind. She’s growing up now but still is always learning about my stories and asks me questions everyday about my work.
I call this design Welebme, giri-giri, & kono (flowers), this story comes from Bulukhaduru.
The giri-giri always rips our clothes and scratches our skin when we go our hunting. It’s really sharp and long, all the kids tell me they don’t like that thorne!’
