Description: Artist Gloria Napangardi Gill illustrates the Lukarrara Jukurrpa, the Desert Fringe-Rush Seed Dreaming belonging to a place north of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory of Australia. The desert fringe-rush is a type of grass with an edible seed which are traditionally ground on large stones to make flour. This flour is then mixed with water {‘ngapa’) to make traditional damper cakes. The concentric circles in the composition represent the seed bearing grass as well as the site of Jaralypari itself where the Dreaming belongs to.
