Warntungurru - SERITA ROSS Bamboo Shirt

ARTIST: SERITA NAKAMARRA ROSS

PAINTING STORY

Pamapardu Jukurrpa (Flying Ant Dreaming) – Warntungurru

This paintng depicts the Pamapardu Jukurrpa (Flying Ant
Dreaming) from Warntungurru, west of Yuendumu.
‘Pamapardu’ is the Warlpiri name for the flying ants or
termites that build the large anthills found throughout
Warlpiri country. This country belongs to
Nakamarra/Napurrurla women and Jakamarra/Jupurrurla
men. ‘Pamapardu’ are flying ants. They build earth mounds
(‘mingkirri’) that are common in the Tanami area. When
heavy rains come in summer the ‘mingkirri’ get flooded out,
so the ‘pamapardu’ grow wings and fly off to make new
homes, following their queens to dry mounds or to build a
new. When they have found their new home they drop their
wings. In this stage they can be collected, lightly cooked in
coals and eaten. As they fall to the ground women collect
them to eat because they are nice and sweet. In
contemporary Warlpiri paintngs traditonal iconography is
used to represent the Jukurrpa, partcular sites and other
elements. When this Jukurrpa story is painted concentric
circles are used to represent the ‘mingkirri’ and the
rockholes involved in the story, including the central one at
Wapurtali (Mt Singleton). Dashes are often depicted around
the circles to represent the ‘pamapardu’.

 Why Bamboo

  • Naturally Organic - bamboo is grown without pesticides or fertilizers. Luxuriously soft - bamboo feels like silky cashmere.
  • Sustainable - Bamboo is one of the world’s fastest growing plants, growing up to a metre in a day. Bamboo is a grass, so once cut it will regenerate quickly without the need for replanting (in the same way as your garden lawn). It grows very densely and so the yield per acre is excellent in comparison to cotton.
  • Eco-friendly - one of the most positive things about bamboo is that it absorbs 35% more carbon dioxide than equivalent stands of trees. More bamboo would help to cut the globally rising levels of carbon dioxide and help in the fight against global warming. Bamboo is also biodegradable.
  • Comfortable and Anti-Static – Fabric made from bamboo is incredibly soft and luxurious, and has an anti-static nature, so it sits well against your skin without clinging.
  • Absorbent - bamboo absorbs up to 60% more water than cotton. This makes it an excellent choice for drawing moisture off the body.
  • Antibacterial – Bamboo is naturally and continuously antibacterial, staying fresh and odour free for longer.
  • Breathable - the porous nature of the fibre makes it breathable and extremely comfortable against the skin.
  • Thermo-regulating - keeps the wearer warm in cool weather, and cool in warm weather.
  • Hypoallergenic - bamboo's organic and natural properties make it non-irritating so perfect for extra sensitive skin
  • UV Protective – it cuts out 98% of harmful UV rays.
