PAINTING STORY
Purrpalanji (Skinny Bush Banana) Jukurrpa ‘Purrpalanji’ (skinny bush banana [Rhyncharrhena linearis]) is a twining climber with thin leaves and pink-brown flowers. Its bean-like edible pods are long and skinny, and can grow up to 20 cm long. It is fire tolerant and grows quickly whenever moisture is available. Like ‘yuparli’ (bush banana [Marsdenia australis]), all of the plant is eaten aside from the woody stems. This ‘purrpalanji Jukurrpa’ (skinny bush banana Dreaming) comes from Pikilyi (Vaughan Springs), a large waterhole and natural spring to the west of Yuendumu, close to Mount Doreen. Napangardi/Napanangka women and Japangardi/Japanangka men are the ‘kirda’ (owners) of the skinny bush banana Dreaming at Pikilyi. Nangala women and Jangala men are the ‘kurdungurlu’ (custodians) of this Dreaming. Napangardi and Napanangka women collect ‘purrpalanji’ (skinny bush banana) and ‘yuparli’ (bush banana) around Pikilyi in their ‘parraja’ (coolamons).

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.
