Dogwood tree Dreaming 17012
Kunstenaar: Liddy Napanangka Walker
Maat: 122x76cm
CAT No: 170/12
Materiaal: Acryl op canvas
Story
The main motif of this painting depicts the ‘wakirlpirri’ (dogwood tree). ‘Wakirlpirri’ is a very useful tree that grows on the sides of creek beds and near ‘mulga’ trees. The seeds of this tree can be eaten raw or cooked on the fire. A deliciously sweet drink called ‘yinjirrpi’ is made from the seeds when they have been dried. The wood can be used to make weapons such as ‘karli’ (boomerangs) and dancing boards for ceremonies. It is also good wood for burning on the fire because rain cannot extinguish burning Wakirlpirri wood.
