Kungkarrangkalpa Indulrungkalpa (seven sisters, Bush medicine)

In Kungkarrangkalpa Indulrungkalpa (Seven Sisters Bush Medicine) Anawari intertwines the Seven Sisters narrative with the art of making bush medicine. Depicting special leaves and shrubs with the circular technique used to skilfully brew into tea or crafted into rubbing ointment. Anawari is a custodian of Kungkarrangkalpa Tjukurrpa (dreamtime) for the Ngaanyatjarra Lands. Wati Nyiru (Magic Man) fell in love with the sisters; he was of the wrong skin group to marry, but he still pursued them on their journey. The sisters travel across the land to escape Nyiru’s unwanted attentions, he is persistent, shape-shifting into other forms looking for the sisters. There are significant land forms which can be sited today that evidence this dreaming. As Nyiru is chasing the sisters he tries to catch them by using magic to turn into the most tempting kampurarrpa (bush tomato) and the most beautiful yirli (wild fig tree), for them to eat and camp under. However, the sisters are knowledgeable of his magic and too clever for Nyiru who they outwit again and again.
