작품 상세

Mawurndjul painted collaboratively with his elder brother Jimmy Njiminjuma until the late 1970s. The Yawk Yawk sisters Likanaya and Marrayka who were impregnated by Luma Luma during the creation of sacred fertility sites. This was a regular theme during Njiminjuma's time, and also during Mawurndjul early career and on into the early 1990s. Njiminjuma's influence is seen in this work in which the Yawk Yawk's hair is in plain white ochre rather than in-filled with rarrk. The Yawk Yawk's tail and body appears to be part crocodile, part fish and may indicate her transformative powers.
