Mulpu – Bush Mushroom

This work shows the artist’s personal Tjukurrpa, the Mulpu (native mushroom), as it was handed to her by her mother. The Mulpu grows after the seasonal rains along the creek and river banks Kungkayunti. They represent good times out in the desert, and a time for celebration as the landscape comes alive with bush tucker of all sorts. “After the rain comes the bush mushroom sprouting from the ground, we pick them and they are delicious to eat.” Anmanari came to have the Mulpu as her personal law because her mother was eating the mulpu on the night that Anmanari was born, causing a quickening of the pregnancy. In her paintings the artist likes as well to depict women digging for the mushrooms with their traditional tools, their coolamons and nulla nullas.

Wilkinkarra – Lake Mackay

This painting depicts Wilkinkarra (Lake Mackay), the country and Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) of the artist’s grandfather and artist, Gideon Tjupurrula Jack. Lake Mackay is located along the Western Australia / Northern Territory border and is the largest of hundreds of ephemeral salt lakes scattered throughout the region.

As passed down to Billy from his grandfather, the painting tells the story of a large bushfire that travelled west from the east, turning the land into a lake, creating Lake Mackay. Wilkinkarra is a site of secret men’s Dreaming.
