About the fabric and artwork:
The fabric used is called Yankirri Jukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) by Lee Nangala Gallagher.

This Jukurrpa (Dreaming) tells the story of a ‘yankirri’ (emu) and a ‘wardilyka’ (bush turkey). The emu and bush turkey used to go around the country picking bush raisins and mashing them into fruit balls to save in their nests for later. However, they were jealous of each other – the emu thought that the bush turkey was picking the best and juiciest and was leaving him with only the sour.
The emu went to the bush turkey’s nest while he was out hunting and smashed up his fruit balls. When the bush turkey returned he went to confront the emu and when he found him, they got into a big fight. The bush turkey eventually flew away to the north, leaving behind the smashed ‘yakajirri’ balls.
