Doris Bush Nungarrayi Kapi tjukurrpa Nyumannu

Wynne Prize 2023 finalist Doris Bush Nungarrayi ‘Kapi tjukurrpa Nyumannu’

Describe the different formations of this landscape.

Doris Bush Nungarrayi has painted the site of Nyumannu, a rock hole near Walungurru/Kintore, west of Mparntwe/Alice Springs in Central Australia. The expressive shapes and bold colours represent the creatures and plants found in the area around the rock hole. Can you spot the creatures that wiggle and weave their way across the painting?
