Christine Yukenbarri is the daughter of renowned artists Helicopter Tjungurrayi and Lucy Yukenbarri Napanangka and works through Warlayirti Artists, Wirrimanu (Balgo). This vibrant painting refers to her mother’s Country, Winpurpurla. The Tjukurrpa for this Country tells of Nungarrayi, Nampitjin and Napangardi women who camped at Winpurpurla to take advantage of the murlanpa flower, which is eaten raw and is a great delicacy. Yukenbarri rejoices in the importance of this flower through her vibrant use of colour.
