Egg Lacquerware Ornamental -MNA339
Mitjili paints the Watiya Tjuta tree. Mitjili’s style is unique and recognisable. The Watiya Tjuta in MitjiliÂ’s paintings is her fatherÂ’s Tjukurrpa (dreaming) in Ilyingaungau country (Gibson Desert). This was passed down to her by her mother, Tjunkayi Napaltjareri when story telling, using the same to draw the story as it is told in the traditional way. She remembers “…After I got married, my mother taught me my fatherÂ’s Tjukurrpa in the sand, thatÂ’s what IÂ’m painting on the canvas”, a womenÂ’s interpretation.
