Pam has depicted her country Nyumannu. Nyumannu is a Dingo Dreaming place to the south east of Kintore – it is said that if you sleep in this place you will dream of the ancestral puppies. The story goes that if you remove one of the gleaming stones found at Nyuman, the ancestral puppies will haunt your dreams until you return it to the place it belongs. The custodians of this tjukurrpa are the Nugarrayi, Tjungarrayi, Napaltjarri and Tjapaltjarri skin names. The different shapes and patterns represent different parts of the landscape relating to this site.
This painting needs to be framed. It's also being sent direct from the artist at a remote art centre, Papunya Tjupi Arts , in the top end. Please note there is only one mail plane a week that takes the artwork to the Alice Springs. The tracking information is then received a week later when the mail plane returns so often the paintings are delivered before we receive the tracking information. Please expect a slightly longer wait for this very special artwork to arrive.
