<p>Miss C. was a Walmajarri woman from Djugerari, a small community approximately 200kms outside Fitzroy Crossing in the East Kimberley. She had a cheeky vibrancy to her and brought much warmth and joy into the Nagula Jarndu space. Her work drew on themes from her desert country including bush tukka such as the <em>tartaku</em> (bush coconut), which is an insect gall that grows into a ‘coconut fruit’ on the bloodwood tree. The ‘coconut’ is broken off the tree and cracked open to eat and drink the juicy inside, providing a rich source of protein. It is best found in the Dry Season, around May to August.</p>
