Pupurru Davies and Kuluwarri



Pulpurru reviewing her 2001 painting of the Kuluwarri dreaming at Utulkurrunya Rock Hole (WAC 264 [L]) at the Tjulyuru space in June, 2009. Kuluwarri is a small bird of the Western Desert and the painting shows its tracks and camp near the mouth of a cave near the water. Also shown are the burrows of the Kakartji mouse (upper left), a complex of low rocky hills on the right and firewood Pulpurru left at the mouth of the cave many years ago when she lived there. So often Puplurru will include elements in the landscape, including them with the dreaming presence there and adding a notable autobiographical component, a reflection of the work also depicting her life and the location of the work as lived space. See it all online soon.
