Provenance: Muk Muk Fine Art, Alice Springs, NT Chalk Horse Gallery, Sydney, NSW Private Collection Vic
Artwork story: In this second iteration of Travels of Kutungka, Walangkura offers a variation on the theme that is her primary inspirational source. Introducing subtle formal shifts, the structure is more spacious, the palette is warmer. This suggests a new rhythm to the journey or a shift in ceremonial focus. Rather than repeating herself, Walangkura reveals how each retelling deepens meaning. Just as oral history transforms with each performance, her painting practice honours both continuity and variation. While the ancestral woman's journey remains central, here the emphasis is more lyrical - more atmospheric. Such works reward close, comparative viewing, and are of particular interest to collectors drawn to series-based practices - where repetition is not duplication, but devotion.
