"This work reflects a classic depiction of the Great Sandy Desert around the mid-section of the Great Sandy Desert. This is Nora's traditional country where she grew up as a girl and continued to live until she moved with family to Billiluna and then to Balgo. The painting shows a landscape rich in sandhills (tali) as seen in the parallel lines. The colour variation shows varying bushfoods such as bush onion, bush tomato and bush raisin."
As stated on a copy of the Walayirti Artists certificate of authenticity.
