Wati Tjakura Tjukurpa & Wati Tjakura
This collaborative painting and sculpture were created on Country at an ‘outdoor studio’ during a week-long trip in 2018 to important Tjukurpa (ancestral creation story) sites on the Aṉangu Pitjantjatjara Yankunytjatjara Lands. The sculpture, made from tjanpi (desert grass), takes the form of the Tjakura, or great desert skink, an edible lizard that is also an ancestral being in Tjukurpa.
