Catalogue text

This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Papunya Tula Artists that states: ‘This painting depicts designs associated with Kaakuratintja (Lake MacDonald). In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men travelled to this site from Kulkuta, south west of the Tjukula Community. The Kuningka (Western Quoll) Dreaming also travelled this same route.’
