Label TextThis etching depicts designs associated with Wimrlnga, a rockhole site in a small rocky outcrop east of the Kiwirrkura Community in Western Australia. In Ancestral times a group of women of the Napaltjarri and Napurrula kinship subsections camped at this site, after travelling from the rockhole site of Ngaminya further west. The women are represented in the etching by the two arc shapes beside the roundel. Wirrulnga is a site associated with birth; the lines adjacent to the roundel symbolize the extended shape of a pregnant Napaltjarri woman who gave birth at the site.Exhibition History
