Kungka Kutjara are Two Women. This painting is the story of two women travelling. They were travelling through that Country a long time ago, looking for mai putitja – bush food. They were travelling through Ngayuka Ngura – My Country – Kaltukatjara – Docker River. They were travelling everywhere. This painting is just Kaltukatjara. My grandmother gave me this story. On my mother’s side. My mother and father are gone, they passed away. My mother was Pitjantjatjara. My father was Warlpiri man. This story is from my mother’s family. The little sister was worrying, she wanted to go back home. The big sister said we can’t go home, we have to keep walking.

Biography:

Raylene's 'home' art centre is Tjarlirli at Kaltukatjara [Docker River]. Tjarlirli Art Centre represents the artists of Tjukurla in the Ngannyatjarra lands of Western Australia. The artwork has strong links with the Papunya Tula movement as families left Kintore and Kiwirrkurra to return to their homelands in the mid 1980s.

Raylene's father was born at Yuendumu when it was a government reserve, but her family now lives in the APY lands, the country they identify with. Raylene is family with Sally M Mulda, whose mother was from Pukatja on the APY Lands. Raylene stops with Sally and paints with Tangentyere Artists when she is in town.
