Semeria Wurrkidj

In this work Semeria depicts the designs and country of the Kurulk clan estate. Whilst it is an ‘outside’ or public
design that she has the authority to depict, rarrk (cross-hatching) is considered sacred and powerful to all
Kuninjku artists as it is the energy of the ancestor beings. Semeria’s rarrk references the creek, mankabo, that flows from Kurrurldul to Milmingkan outstations. It is represented by the white lines which wander over the bark’s surface. The work also depicts three important waterholes near the artist’s outstation Milmingkan.
