Yankirri Jukurrpa I Canvas Art Print - An incredibly intricate, yet simple Indigenous Aboriginal artwork piece that features a recurring pattern of emu footprints circling three, prominent blue circles, and a striking black and white colour palette.
This Indigenous Aboriginal artwork depicts the emu Dreaming, the site of which is at Ngarlikurlangu - north of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory. This Dreaming follows the 'yankirri' (emu) on their journey to find water, travelling to the rockhole at Ngarlikurlangu. Once they reached the rockhole, one of the yankirri ancestors - represented in the artwork by 'wirliya' (footprints) - enters into a fight with a Wardilyka (Australian bustard), neither wanting to share the 'yakajirri' (bush raisin) they discovered in the area.
This Dreaming belongs to the Jangala men and Nangala women, and is also represented by a traditional Warlpiri dance, performed during initiation ceremonies.
In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. Emus are usually represented by their 'wirliya' (footprints), arrow-like shapes that show them walking around Ngarlikurlangu eating 'yakajirri' (bush raisin).

How do I know which size to order?
Start by measuring the full width and height of your chosen wall. Because not all wall edges, ceilings, and cornices are perfectly straight or level, we'd recommend measuring to a few different points along the top and side of your wall, and then working off the largest measurements of each. Once you have your width and height, use this to choose the nearest possible wall size from the options listed. If your wall falls between sizes, then always round UP to the next largest size.
