Glenda inherited her Grandpa’s style and Water Dreaming in Puyuru. Glenda now lives in Alice Springs with her children. Room 5112 Title: Jukurrpa Dreaming In this contemporary Warlpiri painting, traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. The white dots represent the rain. The straight lines represent the ‘ngawarra’ (flood waters) running through the landscape, and the small circles represent ‘mulju’ (water soakages). Room 5207 Title: The Rain Making Story Glenda painted the Rain Making story of Shorty Jangala Robertson. In the usually dry creek beds are water soakage or naturally occurring wells. Two Jangala men, rainmakers, sang the rain, unleashing a giant storm. It travelled across the country, with the lightning striking the land.
