Julie Renita Woods

Julie paints her mother’s story of two sisters travelling through Irruntju (Wingellina) – her mother’s country. They stopped at Ilkuwaratjara and cut a wana (digging stick). The punu (wood) was really straight. The little sister was getting homesick, but the big sister said; “No, I am taking you to meet your family.” Along the way they were digging for kuka (meat such as goanna) and Niny (Bilby). They got kuka and they were happy to have a good feed. The ‘U’ shapes are the sisters. Next to them are their wana or digging stick. The circles represent rock or water holes where water collects after the rains. good feed.
