Artwork Story

'Ngatijirri' (Budgerigar) are small, bright green birds native to central Australia which are common around the Yuendumu area, especially after the summer rains. Men would hunt for Ngatijirri nests, robbing them of eggs and juvenile birds, which are both considered delicacies.

About the Artist

Kenneth Jungarrayi Martin is a Warlpiri man born in Lajamanu, an Aboriginal community in semi-arid country on the edge of the Tanami Desert, halfway between Darwin and Alice Springs. “When I was young I was a lover boy, a music man! I'm a singer, my mother was a singer and my father was her manager.” Kenneth is a member of the ARIA Award nominated ‘Lajamanu Teenage Band'. They are one of the most popular live acts in the Territory and have played Survival, Burunga, Melbourne Fringe and many other community festivals. In 2011, Kenneth began painting with Warlukurlangu Artists Aboriginal Corporation; an Aboriginal owned and governed Art Centre. When Kenneth is not travelling with his music he lives in Nyirripi with his second wife Evelyn Nangala Robertson, also an artist with Warlukurlangu Artists. Kenneth paints his father's Jukurrpa, Yankirri (Emu Dreaming), Dreaming stories about his country south of Yuendumu. “I sit and do painting, it makes me feel relaxed. I do the design and everything and my wife does the dot painting.”
