Daphné a reçu le droit de peindre le Yalka Tjukurrpa à Karrkurutinytja (oignon de brousse rêvant au lac Macdonald) de sa grand-mère, Narputta Nangala Jugadai. Narputta, membre fondateur du centre d'art Ikuntji et peintre prolifique, est né à proximité de ce site.

Daphné dit :

«Ma grand-mère, Narpu, faisait ce tableau. Elle m'a raconté cette histoire. Je travaillais ici (Centre des femmes d'Ikuntji) comme cuisinière. Je suis venu apprendre ici. J'ai vu ma grand-mère peindre. J'ai appris d'elle. Elle m'a raconté cette histoire… Yalka… Nourriture de brousse… Depuis longtemps, ces vieilles dames cherchaient Yalka, creusaient pour Yalka, prenaient les fruits, les cuisaient au feu. On les cuisine juste un petit peu, comme le Maku (larve sorcière). Je cherchais ce Yalka avec ma grand-mère.

Yalka Tjukurrpa, raconté par Narputta,

« Lit du ruisseau à Karrkurutinytja. Deux vieilles femmes, deux Nungurrayi, sont venues de Pulpa et ont commencé à récolter des oignons de brousse et à les mettre dans des coolamons. Ils partirent en voyage vers l'ouest. Ils se sont approchés d'un groupe d'hommes et les ont observés, alors qu'ils se cachaient dans la brousse à Pimarrpa (trempage près de Kiwirrkura). Il y avait une autre dame, Alkiljarra Nakamarra, qui les accompagnait. Elle les a vus là où ils avaient cueilli des oignons de brousse. Elle était bouleversée parce qu'ils les avaient tous rassemblés et qu'il n'en restait plus. La Nakamarra a commencé à marcher et a traversé le ruisseau, où elle a commencé à collecter du mungilpa (une graine de base pour le peuple Pintupi). Elle rencontra deux Tjangalas (Mungilnga et Tiwilgna). A côté d'eux se trouvaient un trou dans une roche et Atjakalya Nakamarra, qui leur fabriquait un amortisseur. Mungilnga avait le plus petit amortisseur. Les deux Tjangalas ont mangé leur amortisseur puis elle s'est envolée et est devenue un rocher à Kurultu.

Daphné est née en 1979 à l'hôpital d'Alice Springs. Elle peint depuis plusieurs années maintenant et est l'une des plus jeunes artistes à travailler au Ikuntji Art Centre. Quand elle était petite, sa mère et son père sont décédés. Elle a été élevée par elle
grand-mère, Narputta Nangala Jugadai, la peintre la plus ancienne et la plus reconnue d'Ikuntji. Le week-end, Daphné aime chasser et cuisiner Goanna's, faire du shopping et s'occuper de ses 2 fils, Stanley et Christopher. Sa famille est très
important pour elle et elle consacre beaucoup de temps à veiller au bien-être de sa famille élargie. Elle est un membre passionné de l'équipe de softball de Haasts Bluff. Daphné a le sens du détail et peint des traductions méticuleuses du paysage de Haasts Bluff, y compris la flore et la faune. Son travail devient particulièrement vibrant après les pluies, lorsque les fleurs sauvages nouvellement émergées dominent ses peintures.

De nombreuses histoires sont encore racontées sur les longs voyages de personnes de différents groupes linguistiques, qui ont voyagé des trous rocheux et des points d'eau aux grottes et aux montagnes pour finalement arriver à Haasts Bluff. Les locaux, les Luritja de Haasts Bluff, étaient déjà là. Haasts Bluff est donc une communauté riche de diversité linguistique et culturelle.

Ikuntji Artists a été créé en 1992, après une série d'ateliers avec l'artiste de Melbourne Marina Strocchi, et sous l'influence de la présidente de la communauté de l'époque, feu Esther Jugadai. Le centre d'art a été initialement créé pour remplir le rôle de centre pour femmes fournissant des services tels que la restauration pour les personnes âgées et les enfants de la communauté. Après des premières expériences dans l'impression de T-shirts, les artistes ont commencé à produire des peintures acryliques sur lin et papier fait main, ce qui a rapidement attiré l'attention du monde de l'art australien et international et a valu au centre une réputation impressionnante en matière de beaux-arts. L'orientation est passée d'un centre pour femmes à un centre d'art en 2005 avec l'incorporation du centre d'art sous le nom d'Ikuntji Artists Indigenous Corporation.

Les artistes puisent leur inspiration dans leur ngurra (pays) et leur Tjukurrpa (Rêve) personnels. Ils interprètent les histoires ancestrales en utilisant des symboles, des icônes et des motifs traditionnels. Le répertoire artistique des artistes Ikuntji est diversifié et comprend par exemple : des peintures naïves ainsi que très abstraites racontées par chaque artiste dans son style personnel. Tout au long de ses 21 années d'existence, le mouvement artistique d'Ikuntji a prospéré et a constamment laissé sa marque dans le monde des beaux-arts. Dans le même temps, le centre d'art est le centre culturel de la communauté, entretenant, renforçant et revigorant les pratiques culturelles à travers la création artistique.

Aujourd'hui, Ikuntji Artists compte huit artistes clés qui exposent en Australie et à l'étranger. Ils sont représentés dans de grandes collections à travers le monde.

Suffice to say I knew and worked with Wenton Rubuntja when I moved to central Australia in the mid 1980s. The houses of all my friends and family as well as our own house here in Adelaide are full of Wenten pieces both watercolour and dot paintings, on board and canvas and anything else he could find! He was an incredible man and it was wonderful to read the notes. I worked in the establishment of old people’s services and had a lot to do with Wenten and the elders in his family. As you can imagine my memories of Mervyn are of a very young boy. What I do know is that he is just utterly brilliant, his talent is outstanding and everything he does just leaps right off the paper. I had never looked at Art Ark before and was scrolling through really admiring the quality of the works and whamo there was the Mervyn and my father who has two Mervyn postcard size works I bought him, is about to turn 100, and I acted FAST! – but not as fast as my father acted when he opened the package in Sydney. He absolutely loves it and I wasn’t going to make him wait one day to look at it and enjoy it. He is very discerning and an art fanatic to put it mildly. So it’s at the framers my father rushed his almost one hundred feet out the door and had already decided where it would go on his walls. So thank you for the wonderful quality and the superb packaging (only one small pressure mark on the cardboard outside but nothing deep or problematic about it) and for giving my Dad so much joy. We miss Central Australia, we were at Wenten’s funeral and the pull of central Australia is always present. We have a lovely Mervyn painting which we have yet to frame (I did not inherit my father’s capacity for speed) and we treasure it. Thanks so much. Excellent professional and wonderful. Cheers Jo

I was keen to get it straight away so I can get it stretched before our local art shop closed for Christmas. Art Ark is certainly reliable in their delivery times. As other reviews have said, and I couldn't agree more, the paintings are brighter and so evocative in person. This painting is bought as a gift for my son's 18th birthday. Yes, it's not a traditional 18th birthday gift but it makes sense for him for many reasons. I'm honoured to share the beauty and the stories of Australian indigenous artists with our son to mark his journey to adulthood in Australia. Thank-you.
