In this painting Punata has painted the bush food Yala (Sweet Potato) that is found in the sand dunes near her country Mt Denison. Her father Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri also painted the country around Mt Denison. Women dig for for the sweet potato in the sand dunes and cook it in the coals of the fire. The Yala (Sweet Potato) is white in colour and sweet in taste.
This is a painting of Emily and her 3 younger sisters – Ada Andy, Melody and Jennifer. They are foraging for bush onion (yalka) at Karrinyarra.
Woven art piece represents the flowing tides and deep connection between land and sea. Adorned woth shells, rock and plant from Hamilton Island, anchoring in a specific place on country.
Water on country sustains the land, culture and life.
This painting reminds me of when we go camping out bush we always camp out in the flat where we can see the stars shining.
