| Description/Remarks |
'Dot' painting in black, brown, yellow and orange ochre coloured acrylic paint on linen. Background brown. Black outline around inside of canvas with five groups of 'stripes' within the outline. "This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Marrapinti, just to the west of the Kiwirrkura Community. A large group of senior women camped at this rockhole making the nose-bones which are worn through a hole in the nose-web. These nose-bones were originally worn by both men and women but are now only worn by the older generation on ceremonial occasions. The women later travelled east passing through the Kiwirrkura area. The lines represent sandhills surrounding the site." From Papunya Tula Artists Pty Ltd certificate, catalogue no. NN991012 dated 22/11/99, signed by D Williams for M Strocchi. Painted at Kintore during 1999. Language group Pintupi. |
