Catalogue text

This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Mangkaja Arts that states: ‘This is a big permanent water hole in the desert country of Nada’s mother and father. The jilji sand dunes and bush tucker surround the water hole, after the rain they would carry marra to scoop the water and the bidgi to carry the water back to camp. Mother and father would camp near with a big mob close to water and pretty good bush tucker.’
