This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states:
'Imelda has depicted her mother's country south of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert. This country here is named Winpurpurla after a tjurrni (soakwater). Winpurpurla is an inta (living water) place so it always has good water. Women travel to Winpurpurla to collect a variety of seeds including lukarrari which is ground to make damper as well as kumpupatja (bush tomato) and karnti (bush potato). Imelda is the first child born to Lucy Yukenbarri.'
