Notes:This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists that states: ‘Christine has painted some of her mother’s country, south of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert. This country is named Winpurpurla after the tjurnnu (soak-water) depicted as the central circle in the painting. Winpurpurla is an inta or ‘living water’ place so it always has good water. Women often travel to Winpurpurla to collect a variety of seeds including lukarrari which is ground to make damper and kumpupatja (bush tomato). The definite lines in the painting represent the tali (sand hills) that dominate this country.’
