"Thomas Tjapaltarri in 1984 was one of a part of nine Pintupi speakers who made their first contact with non-Aboriginal people when they walked out of the desert west of Lake Mackay into the small Kiwirrkura community, just inside the West Australian border west of Alice Springs. Three years later along with his elder brothers Warlimpirrnga and Walala, he began painting for the Papunya Tula Artists cooperative." Arnhem Land Art
