  • About

    Art centre documentation for this work states:
    “This is Lilla Outstation near Watarrka (Kings Canyon). I grew up here with my family. My father he is making urlpurrinya (boomerang). I am painting with my sister. Some of the women are
    making tnama (digging stick) and other tools. Back then we lived in a tin house. When my parents passed away I came to Ntaria (Hermannsburg) to live.”
