Wakirlpirri Jukurrpa Ochre Canvas Art Print - This motif of this visually striking Aboriginal artwork represents the dogwood tree, featuring dark, stretching branches accentuated by hundreds of lines in a warm yellow colour palette.
This Aboriginal artwork depicts the ‘wakirlpirri’ (dogwood tree), a very useful tree for Japanangka men and Napanangka women. The Dreaming travels from Jarrarda-Jarrayi through to Mount Theo, west of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory.
The ‘wakirlpirri’ grows on the sides of creek beds, offering seeds that can be eaten raw or cooked, or dried and boiled to create a sweet drink called ‘yinjirrpi’. The wood is used for ‘karli’ (boomerangs) and dancing boards, and is also excellent for burning on the fire as the wakirlpirri wood cannot be extinguished by rain.
Bring the richness of Aboriginal culture and timeless storytelling traditions into your home with this intricately painted and breathtaking artwork.
