Minyma Kutjara 2010

In her powerful painting Minyma Kutjara, Kunmanara Stewart relays the story of the Two Sisters, an important Dreaming in which her female ancestors traversed Pitjantjatjara Country and created its features. Describing the composition, Stewart explains:

This is two women who came from a long way south to Irrunytju. They were sisters. They were carrying a digging stick and threw it in front of them. The digging stick skidded along the ground and lay there. They picked it up and went north to a place called Ngurapila and performed sacred dancing. Then the big sister picked up the younger one and they continued north.
