Originally from Yuendumu, in the central Australian desert, Julie Robertson NANGALA is the daughter of the famous painter Dorothy NAPANGARDI, who gradually introduced her to her art, before she herself began to paint her own vision of the mysteries of the Dreamtime, which she had come to possess. In this work, she evokes the Dream of Mina Mina, who belongs to the Napangardi (her mother's clan) and Napanangka women, two female clans in the Warlpiri group. This episode took place in the ‘Dreamtime’ - the mythical time of the creation of the world for the Aborigines - in the sacred region of Mina Mina, to the west of Yuendumu. Ancestral women of all ages had gone to gather ngalyipi, or ‘snake vine’, a type of vine used as a cord to hang bags over the shoulders or as a remedy for headaches. While these women were performing ceremonies, digging sticks (karla-ngu) emerged from the ground. They grabbed them and continued their wanderings, dancing and creating sacred sites - rocks, waterholes, etc. - throughout their mythical journey. - throughout their mythical journey to far-off Queensland. It is these wanderings through the desert that the artist evokes in this painting: the multiple dots evoke the surrounding dried salt marshes, but are also a mosaic that maps the movement of the Ancestral Women as seen from the sky.
