Artwork story: Nancy paints her “Karrku” story. The word karrku refers to red ochre. Many of Nancy’s paintings depict women grinding wangunu, a grass seed used to make traditional damper. Apart from the symbols used to represent the women and their activities, Nancy depicts sand hills, (tali) and the rocky hills (puli) as a series of curved linear patterns. Nancy was included in the Kiwirrkura Women’s project the result of which was a large painting auctioned to raise funds for the Kintore renal unit. New South Wales. Nancy’s stories include; “Mantarrkurra “Tunitjarra”- kunkga tjuta or “many women”. “Marrapinti” – women’s business. “Mamuttjulku” – Nancy’s (Tjapaltjarri) father’s site. “Mantjintjalkara” – located in the Karrku area. “Wirunya” – ceremonial skirt worn by women.
