Acrylic on canvas
91 x 152 cm

Nyunmanu is a Dingo Dreaming site just to the south east of Kintore. Most of the Dingoes and their pups from this place rose up into the sky and became stars. However the ancestral mother Dingo and her pup had gone out hunting and were too tired to rise up, so they turned into a large rock that marks the place of this sacred Dreaming. It is said that if you sleep in this place you will dream of the ancestral puppies. The story goes that if you remove one of the gleaming stones found at Nyunmanu, the puppies will haunt your dreams until you return it to the place where it belongs. The custodians of this Tjukurrpa are Nungarrayi, Tjungarrayi, Napaltjarri and Tjapaltjarri women and men. The circles in this story often reprsent important waterholes. The roundels extending from the circles are the designs the women paint on their breasts.

Punata Stockman Nungarrayi

Title:	Ilpitirri
Price:	$1000.00 in Australia and Export.
PA922, 2009
Acrylic on canvas
91 x 122 cm

Punata has depicted the country around Mt Denison which also belongs to her father Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri. The central area represents the creek running through Mt Denison country while the circles represent ‘sugarbags’ in the surrounding country. Sugarbag (wild honey) or Ngalypuru is the syrup made by the native bees, described as a small stingless honey bee. These insects live up in the trees and the Anangu (Aboriginal people) eat the honey. The honey is found in the tree hollows. To find the honey, the Anangu look for the native bees buzzing around the trees and the wax protruding from the trunks. The tree is then chopped and split to reveal the honey. The honey and the bees’ larvae are all collected in a coolamon or wooden bowl to be eaten.
