"Graham has painted the country of his grandfather, Tjumpo Tjapanangka. This country is located south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert and centred around the vast salt lake named Wilkinkarra (Lake McKay). The country here is dominated by tali (sandhills) while the central circle is a tjurrnu (soakwater) which was created by a snake during the Tjukurrpa (Dreaming)." - Warlayirti Artists
