This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Short St Gallery which reads, 'I was born in Kalpirti, but left this country a long time ago. It is the place of the old people, my mummy and dad's place. Kalpirti, this is where my brother and sister were born too, and where my old people died. We ate miningali (damper), bingala, warlji (bush tomato) lots of mayi here (bush food). There is lots of junbi (tall grass) in the tali (sand dunes) where binya grows (a white food that grows on the trees).'
