Description of painting Kapi Tjukula
This painting depicts how Yaritji’s parents and grandparents would move through regions with the children, to be with extended family and community. It reflects how Yaritji’s family would feel safe when they had a connection to each other and the land – they knew it as their home. The circles of this design represent rock holes, where water collects after the rains. These rock holes were an important source of water during the dry season when most of the water holes and creeks dried up. Water is an essential element in the desert. Knowledge of rock hole sites is passed on from generation to generation and revered by all Anangu (people) Pitjantjatjara. Housing Choices Australia acknowledges that art is a strong platform for Aborginal and Torres Strait Islander culture. We acknowledge that art is regional in style and its form and content is distinctive from one area to the next.
