The Artist
Tjarlirli Art, Western Australia, cat. no. 09-378 (accompanied by a copy of the certificate of authenticity)
The Le Pley Collection, Western Australia, acquired from the above in 2009
"This is a Tingari painting of the ancestor's travels through a very sacred region of Tjukurla called Kulkurda. The custodians of Tjukurla are also the custodians of this country and it (is) very difficult to access these days. No one is allowed to travel there unaccompanied and no hunting is allowed on this country. It is forbidden to stay there at night and the landforms are the resting place of the spirits of deceased family members that watch over the country. Neil has painted the rockholes and creeks there with the puli (large hills) on one side and the Spinifex country on the other. All of the men are there."
