About the Artist Nora Nyutjangka Davidson
Nora is a bush baby having been born in the bush near Mantamaru (Jameson), WA. Nora now lives in Papulankutja (Blackstone), with her family and continues many of the traditional culture and law practices.
Nora's family is the custodian of the Illurrpa Story about an ancestral snake called Kuniya, who stayed long enough to mate and lay seven eggs. A matted black fibre found at Illurrpa rock hole is said to come from the hair of her many victims which Kuniya had eaten and then regurgitated when she fell ill.
The dark streaky features of the landscape are said to be the black hair flowing down the hillside to Ilurrpa.
