Wanakiji Jukurrpa (Bush Tomato Dreaming) This artwork represents the Dreaming that travels through Yaturlu (near Mount Theo, north of Yuendumu). ‘Wanakiji’ grows in open spinifex country & is a small, prickly plant with purple flowers that bears green fleshy fruit with many small black seeds. After collecting the fruit, the seeds are removed with a small wooden spoon called ‘kajalarra’.
The fruit then can be eaten raw, or threaded onto skewers called ‘turlturrpa’ before being cooked over a fire. ‘Wanakiji’ can also be skewered & left out to dry, which is known as ‘turlturrpa’, & when prepared using this method the fruit can be kept for a long period of time.
In contemporary Warlpiri paintings, traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, particular sites, & other elements. The Wanakiji Jukurrpa belongs to Napanangka/Napangardi women & Japanangka/Japangardi men.
