“I did this yellow paint in the background to represent dry land. You can see there’s lots of blooming flowers and bush tucker. It’s a special time, lots of fruit. It’s in my Grandmother’s Country Kuna Tjarrayi (koona – charray). In Granite. West of Yeundemeu. My grandmother’s name was Yawinytji Napanangka Powlson. Her father was a Walrpiri man, came from North to Haasts Bluff and then moved to Papunya. Haasts Bluff was a missionary place and they made a new settlement in Papunya because there was no water. My mother was born in Haasts Bluff, her name was Maryanne Nakamarra. My grandmother was the wife of Johnny Wararrngula, famous artist from Papunya Tula. That’s where dot painting started, in Papunya community many years back. My grandmother’s father’s name was Yulpu-Lyurru Yupu Tjapangati.” – Joyce Dixon
