- Artwork story
- This is a painting for the Nakamarra, Jakamarra, Jupurrula and Napurrula skin groups. It tells the Dreamtime story of the women of the Nakamarra and Napurrula skins who are grinding seeds in to a paste which will be made into damper. The shapes depicted are the seeds. This Dreaming took place at Wopartaly near Chilla Wells in the Northern Territory.
