    JEAN INYALANGKA BURKE (born 1945) Karrpalma 2003 synthetic polymer paint on canvas inscribed verso with artist's name and Irrunytju Arts Centre cat. no. RRJB03212 201 x 179cm PROVENANCE: Irrunytju Arts Centre, Irrunytju (Wingellina), Western Australia (accompanied by the certificate of authenticity) Private collection, Adelaide OTHER NOTES: "One old lady she had a husband, but he was crippled, no two legs. She used to carry him everywhere, around with a big wira (wooden bowl). That man was called Karrapalma and his wife was called Alkawari. There was a young boy who would go hunting, but Alkawari wouldn't share her fire with him to cook his kangaroo. That minyma (woman) was hiding the fire. The boy hid under a bush and waited for that wife to go out hunting. When she was gone the boy took the fire and burn't the wiltja (house) and that man was inside. When alkawari looked back she saw the wiltja burning, but she couldn't get back quick enough. She was crying and screaming. She carried her husbands body to a rockhole as the country was too hard for her to dig a hole to bury him. Many families came. The woman made smoke and went to kill the boy, but that boy got a long stick like a ladder and went up high. The women tried to climb up the ladder, but the boy was moving that stick. One by one the women fell off and died. Ngaltutjara (the poor things). That boy didn't get killed." As stated on the Irrunytju Arts certificate of authenticity © Jean Burke/Copyright Agency, 2026

     Jean Burke (1945-) Liru Ngura 2005

    Est: $4,000 - $6,000

    Born in the bush at Anumarapiti in the Western Desert, Jean arrived at the mission in Ernabella with her parents when she was a baby in the mid 1940s. Shortly after their arrival her mother passed away and her father took her from Ernabella to Warburton, walking from rock-hole to rock-hole for 800 kilometres. Along the way many women took turns in breast-feeding the infant child. ‘I always thought I had no family. I was really sad because other girl’s mothers told them stories about country. I was lost. My own mother wasn’t telling me stories about families and country.' Jean began painting in Warakurna under the watchful eye of her uncle Tommy Watson at the Docker River Community Arts Centre. Her paintings are based on the linear designs related to sandhill country and her softer palette demonstrates a deep connection to the numinous landscape.
