This rug design is from an original painting, done in acrylic paint on paper. This abstract image istypical of Walka work, which is unique to the Aboriginal women artists of Pitjantjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands, in remote north-west South Australia. The different forms of the desert landscape have a great impact on the artists use of colour and image construction.

The imagery is also influenced by the ancient Aboriginal culture and the land from which it draws its origins. Specific titles, however, are seldom given to the 'walka' artwork. This piece is a good example of very recent, more simplified images now being produced at Kaltjiti Arts.

The main motif of this painting depicts the Wakirlpirri (Dogwood-Acacia coriacea) tree. Wakirlpirri is a very useful tree that grows on the sides of creek beds and near Mulga trees. The seeds can be eaten raw or they can be cooked on the fire and a deliciously sweet drink called Yinjirrpi is made from the seeds when they have been dried. The wood can be used to make Karli (boomerangs), other waepons and dancing boards for ceremony and is good wood for burning on the fire - rain cannot extinguish burning Wakirlpirri wood. In contemporary Wakirlpirri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurra, particular sites and other elements. The Jukurrpa travels from Jarrarda-Jarrayi through to Puturlu (Mount Theo) west of Yuendumu. This Jukurrpa belongs to Japanangka and Japangardi men, and Napanangka and Napangardi women.
