- Artwork story
- This painting depicts the site of Walungurru, also known as Kintore. In this painting the artist has referred to a group of women who are gathering the bush food known as pura, (also known in Pintupi as pintalypa) or bush tomato from the small shrub Solanum chippendalei. This fruit is the size of a small apricot, and after the seed have been removed, can be stored for long periods by halving the fruit and skewering them onto a stick. The circles in this painting represent the pura.
