Minyma Kutjara

Janie has painted the Tjukurpa travels of Minyma Kutjara, The Two Women. During the creation period, as they hunted and adventured along the way, they formed many aspects of the landscape and left behind information still used today about the important rituals and work of collecting mai or plant foods. The women travel with piti munu wana, collecting bowls and digging sticks. Janie has painted Mawulyari (traditional hair string skirts) that women wear. The women are travelling through a site named Ngakint towards Lake Amadeus, a large salt lake.
