Catalogue text

This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Ikuntji Women's Centre which states: 'Talaalpi is a swamp a little bit to the east of Walungurru near Kintore in the Northern Territory. Here the artist has painted the Tali or Sandhills which surround the swamp at Talaalpi. This is one of the stories from the artist's dreaming Tjukurrpa.'
