Catalogue text

This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states: This is a depiction of people sitting down in the spinifex, talking in the artist’s country. This is a scene of collecting bush tucker and burning off country in order to catch game. Lucy is one of the senior law women for the Tjukulpa law and stories associated with this place. Lucy lived in this part of the desert as a young girl with her family and has intimate knowledge of the land features and the plentiful supply of water and bush foods found here.
