Lucy has depicted some of her grandmother’s country which is located far to the south of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert. This print features some of the country around a tjurnnu, or soakwater called Winpurpurla. Winpurpurla is an inta, or ‘living water’ place in that it always has good water. The Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime) story for this country tells of some ancestral women of the Nungurrayi, Nampitjin and Napangardi skin groups who came to camp at Winpurpula. These ancestral women made a fire close to the water, and started dancing a secret/sacred dance. The dancing went all night after which they started walking a long way west. The woman came to Winpurpurla to collect some of the special food that grows here, in particular the murlanpa, a flower harvested from the “sugar tree”, which is eaten raw and is a great delicacy.
