This is my country, north-west of Tjukurla. It’s a very important place, ngurra pulkana. This dreaming near Kulkurta. It’s about ladies at that place. I got these freckles and spots on my body. That’s the Tjukurrpa (Dreaming). Ladies walking around in the bush, collecting yawurr-yawurr (little black berries). I was walking all round there as a young girl, getting that bush food. And now I’m painting the kapi (waterhole) and landscape there.”
