KUNTJIL COOPER

the artistbiomedia and newsarchived exhibitions


 

Kuntjil Cooper was born at Irrunytju rockhole sometime around 1920. She spent her early years living a traditional life in the bush of the Western Desert. When she was a teenager she saw whitefellas for the first time; they gave her food, but she thought it was strange stuff and only pretended to eat it, really burying it in the sand.
