Yalka at Karrkurutinytja - Apricot and Pinks on Maroon (Cotton) 50cm Bags and Accessories The Ikuntji Artists logoThis fabric by Daphne Marks depicts the Yalka Tjukurrpa the Bush Onion Dreaming at Karrkurutinytja (Lake McDonald). Two old women gather bush onions at the creek bed and travel west, while another woman follows their tracks, collects mungilpa, and eventually becomes a rock at Kurultu. Daphne was passed down the right to paint this story from her grandmother Narputta Nangala Jugadai, Ikuntji's most senior and internationally recognised painter. Daphne
