Yarla Jukurrpa / Bush Potato Dreaming, Cockatoo Creek
This Yarla Jukurrpa belongs to men of the Japaljarri/Jungarrayi subsections and to Napaljarri/Nungarrayi women. It comes from an area to the east of Yuendumu called Cockatoo Creek. Yarla/bush potatoes are fibrous tubers that grow beneath a low spreading plant, found by looking for cracks in the ground. This edible tuber grows from yartura/roots which seek out moisture to spout new plants. Yarla are good to eat. When cooked they are really soft and tasty. The Jukurrpa tells of yarla and wapirti/bush carrot ancestors fighting a big battle in this area. The specific site associated with this painting is a mulju/water soakage called Ngarparapunyu. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. The curved lines of the kuruwarri/ceremonial designs represent the ngamarna/vine-like tendrils from which grow jinjirla/flowers. Karlangu/digging sticks are usually represented as strait lines. Karlangu are used by women to dig for bush tucker like yarla and wapirti which are found underground.
