Art work Description:
This is Lorna’s fathers story, Jagamara and Tjupurulla Dreaming. ‘It’s a big story that Bush Potato. Its tucker, in my country.” Bush Potato paintings tell the Dreatime story about the women of Napurrula and Nakamarra skin groups. These women travel with their digging sticks and coolamon dishes. The coolamons are used for collecting bush tucker especially bush yams. Yams grow as roots underground, that is why women have to use digging sticks. The lines represent the complex root system and branches of the bush potato plant. This dreaming took place at a small outstation called Yummurrpa Northern Territory.
