Kapi Tjukurla (Waterhole Story)

Kunmanara (Julie Taria) Brumby, 2017

Julie Brumby has painted a vibrant description of her beloved desert landscape, in it the many rolling sand dunes, and most importantly; the waterholes.

The lines in Julie's painting represent the patterns that can be seen in the land - 'tali' sand dunes, and concentric circles linked by lines can represent waterholes and river courses or the travelling and resting places of Creation Ancestors and Anangu.

There are many types of waterholes that Anangu can use and they depend on their intimate knowledge of the environment to know where and when they will find water. Sometimes a soakage will have dried up and the women must use their digging sticks to find water under the surface. They transport it back to their families by carrying it in wooden bowls which are carried on their heads.

Anangu follow the traditions of their Tjurkurpa or Creation Law within which are coded life survival skills. There are inma or ceremony for all parts of the country in order to teach and celebrate; for people to learn where they fit within both the environments and social systems.

Anangu feel strongly about continuing to teach and learn Tjukurpa and their art is important and vital work. It sustains them economically, physically and culturally. It keeps the stories and traditions alive.
