Pauline Napangardi Gallagher "Mina Mina"

183 x 91 cms Acrylics on Linen Canvas. Mina Mina is the country this painting depicts. It is far west of Yuendumu and is very important to the Napangardi / Napanangka women. These women and their Japangardi / Japanangka brothers, are the custodians of the Jukurrpa (Dreaming) that created the area. This Deaming tells of the journey of a group of women who travelled east gathering food, ‘ngalyipi’ (snake vine) and performing ceremonies as they went.
