People call them all sorts – Yerrampe, Tjupi, Agkwarle, Tjala… all one thing!

Kwerlpe Tjukurrpa

This painting is about a Arrernte Wati [man] meeting an Arrernte mother and her daughters. The mother asks the Wati if he wants to marry her daughters because they are the right skin for each other. But that Wati said ‘I can’t – they are too young for me!’ and he said ‘I want you! You are light skinned!’ That was really interesting to him. But she said ‘I’m the wrong skin for you!’ She said ‘I can’t!’  So that Wati left her and her daughters in peace and he travelled on. This site is at Kwerlpe, James Range. That’s my Dreaming.
