  REFERENCES: Beyond Sacred: Recent Painting from Australia’s Remote Aboriginal Communities: The Collection of Colin and Elizabeth Laverty, Hardie Grant Books, Melbourne, 2008, p. 136 (illus.) This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists that states: ‘This painting from Tjumpo’s country shows a sacred “Law Place” that is connected with senior men’s Law called Tingarri. Back in the Tjukulpa (Dreamtime) serpents were responsible for creating the land, its features and its Law. Miliggi one of these serpents is shown during this creation period. This area has been used to celebrate these events for countless generations. The land has a rugged beauty with endless sandhills, craggy hills and vast salt lakes surrounded by stands of desert oaks.’
