• Notes:
  This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states: 'This painting depicts some aspects of Susie's traditional country. This country is known as Kaningarra, named after the tjumu, or soakwater which is featured in the centre of the painting. Kaningarra is in the northern part of the Great Sandy Desert of WA. The two black U shapes are Susie's parents, camping by the tjumu. Surrounding them, and represented by the small dots are tjunda, or bush onions. The grid-like shape along the edges of the painting represented tjirripadja, or bush carrots; both of these important food sources are abundant at Kaningarra.'
