The shimmering optical field of Yukultji Napangati’s Untitled 2014 commands the eye. Her repetitive undulating lines in a reduced colour palette are interrupted by a domed form in the lower centre referencing Yunala, a rock hole site where water collects among the sandhills to the west of the Kiwirrkura community in Western Australia. During ancestral times, a group of women camped beside the rock hole at Yunala, digging for the edible roots of the bush banana (Marsdenia australis), also known as yunala.
