  • Notes:
    Timmy was among the first Pintupi men to begin painting on hardboard at Papunya in 1971. He lived on traditional courtry in the Gibson Desert. He was a driving force to return the Pintupi to their traditional lands in the mid 1980s. He was a highly individual painter among the Pintupi artists, figuration played a large part in his earlier works. In the later phase of his work he fills the picture space with intricate 'key ' patterns which are characteristically incised onto wooden objects associated with secret ceremonies, & the palette is reduced to a red ochre underocat covered by a maze of black & white dotted lines.
