Art Centre certificate for this painting reads:

The country associated with this painting is Mina Mina, a place far west of Yuendumu, which is significant to Napangardi and Napanangka women, the custodians of the Jukurrpa that created the area. The Jukurrpa story tells of the journey of a group of women of all ages who travelled to the east gathering food, collecting Ngalyipi (Tinospora smilacina or snake vine) and performing ceremonies as they travelled. The women began their journey at Mina Mina where Karla-ngu (digging sticks) emerged from the ground. Taking these implements the women travelled east creating Janyinki and other sites. Their journey took them eventually beyond Warlpiri country. The centre motif in this painting is the Ngalyipi vine, which grows up the trunks of limbs of the Kurrkara (Desert Oak, Allocasuarina decaisneana) trees. Ngalyipi is a vine sacred to Napangardi and Napanangka woman and has many uses, including as a ceremonial wrap, as a strap to carry Parrajas (wooden bowls) laden with bush tucker and as a tourniquet for headaches.

 

The following news article titled: `Writing On The Wall for Telstra Indigenous Art Awards After Boycott` is not about Judy Napangardi Watson per se, but rather about yet another scandal in the Aboriginal Art arena, though it does offer an insight of Judy Watson's success as an artist, as does the above publication `Colour Power: Aboriginal Art Post 1994`, published by the National Gallery of Victoria, which features Judy Napangardi Watson's work on the front cover.
