Artwork story
Marshall’s Seed Dreaming depicts Watiya-warnu, a seed-bearing tree found in spinifex and mulga country. The story follows a Jangala ancestor travelling south from Ngurlupurranyangu to Yamunturrngu (Mount Liebig), gathering seeds in wooden food carriers known as parrajas. Back at camp, the seeds were separated from their husks behind protective windbreaks. Unripe seeds were also ground into a paste for traditional medicinal use. This Jukurrpa belongs to Nampijinpa and Nangala women, and Jampijinpa and Jangala men; its ceremony includes the making of a large ground painting.
