Artist statement
Minyma pirini, tjitji pirni, kungawarra pirni, whole lot sitting down! The ladies have been gathering and preparing so many bush foods; wangunu, mangarta, kampurarpa, larkarra, kantumi. Bush tucker, whole lot! It’s a happy day, a happy time; everyone is together at this place Kurlkurta, sitting down with a rich feast.
Kurlkurta is a cultural homeland of immense significance for the families of Tjukurla. The site is vast and located in a remote part of the continent; its inaccessibility adding to its gravity.
