Watiya Tjuta Medium Cushion Cover (40x40cm) – Yellow, Pink and Blue

This design by Mitjili Napurrula depicts Watiya (tree) Tjuta (many), and is the artist’s iconic rendering of her late father’s Tjukurrpa (Dreaming). In this design, the artist depicts the ceremonial spear straightening in Uwalkari country (Gibson desert region). The spear straightening is part of restricted men’s business. Mitjilli was given the right to depict the source of the spears by her father, however, the ceremony cannot be revealed in her works. Uwalkari is abundant with Watiya Tjuta and other plants that grow in a landscape dominated by sandhills. Mitjilli came from an acclaimed family of artists and the imagery of Watiya Tjuta is a recurring motif in her artwork.
