ESSAY: This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists, Balgo Hills that states: ‘Artist’s Country. The two main waterholes in this area are shown and the artist would camp near these with her family when she was younger. There are some caves in a rocky outcrop nearby and these have a special significance for the artist and her family. The women go out to collect food from the surrounding bush each day. The area is dominated by rows of sandhills.’
