This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Short Street Gallery that states: 'This is my country, Lungurang country. This is where I was born. I travelled around this place as a young woman walking through the sand dunes (tali) collecting mayi (bush food) with my daddy and two mummies. We hunted kuwi, and sat down there. We didn't have clothes then. There is mulga tree here. I had two brothers. It is this side (west side of Winpa in Western Australia.'
