Catalogue text

This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states: 'Ningie has painted some of her country located south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert. This country is known as Winturlka and contains many tjurrnu (soakwater), depicted as circles in the painting. The many parallel lines in the painting depict floodplains as well as the tali (sandhills) found in this country. This is the country of Ningie's youth, and is where both of her parents were killed when she was a young girl.'
