Name: Yarla Jukurrpa (Bush Potato Dreaming) – Cockatoo Creek 
Artists:Deanne Nakamarra White

This Yarla Jukurrpa belongs to men of the Japaljarri/Jungarrayi subsections and to Napaljarri/Nungarrayi women. It comes from an area to the east of Yuendumu called Cockatoo Creek. ‘Yarla’ (bush potato [Ipomea costata]) are fibrous tubers that grow beneath a low spreading plant, found by looking for cracks in the ground. This edible tuber grows from ‘yartura’ (roots) which seek out moisture to spout new plants. Yarla are good to eat, when cooked they are really soft and tasty. The Jukurrpa tells of ‘yarla’ and ‘wapirti’ (bush carrot [Vigna lanceolata]) ancestors fighting a big battle in this area. The specific site associated with this painting is a ‘mulju’ (water soakage) called Ngarparapunyu. In contemporary Warlpiri paintings traditional iconography is used to represent the Jukurrpa, associated sites and other elements. The curved lines of the ‘kuruwarri’ (ceremonial designs) represent the ‘ngamarna’ (vine-like tendrils) from which grow ‘jinjirla’ (flowers). ‘Karlangu’ (digging sticks) are usually represented as straight lines. ‘Karlangu’are used by women to dig for bush tucker like Yarla and Wapirti which are found underground.

Why Bamboo

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 towels and bathrobes.
• 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.
