Explications pour cette œuvre :

This painting depicts Karlamilyi, also known as the Rudall River National Park. This country is in the very heart of the Martu homelands, and is situated between the remote Aboriginal communities Parnngurr and Punmu.

Karlamilyi is Warnman country. Mabel Mitutu travelled extensively through this, her home country, as a young woman.

Mabel was born in the 1920s at Yirajara, which is near Jurntu Jurntu. Her parents were both Warnman people whose country encompassed Tarl and Nayijara. Mabel grew up in the pujiman (bush) way through her teens and as an adult, she walked into Jigalong Mission. She paints her ngurra (home) and her warrarn (country) to teach the young so that they can learn to paint, too.
