Ngurra (Home Country, Camp) - Mayiwalku (Maywokka) May Chapman

This painting depicts Mayiwalku’s ngurra (home Country, camp); the land she walked as a young child. Her Country, the
Manyjilyjarra region, is located within the central Great Sandy Desert of northwest Western Australia. Features of the
landscape are here portrayed aerially with geographical familiarity, including tali (sandhills), warta (vegetation), and the
many life sustaining water sources known intimately through both real life experience and the recounting of jukurrpa
(dreamtime) narratives.
