Catalogue text

This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states: ‘Pauline’s father Sunfly Tjampitjin, was a senior custodian for country south of Balgo, near the vast salt lake of Wilkinkara (Lake MacKay). The country depicted here is named Liltjin. The many lines throughout the painting are dry creekbeds which during the wet season flow into Wilkinkara.
