Pauline Sunfly Nangala

Pauline has painted some of her father’s country, the late Sunfly Tjampitjin, who was a senior custodian for country south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert. The circles in the painting depict wanirri (rockholes) and the lines connecting the rockholes are the tracks that the ancestral cat took, which turned into kiliki (creeks). This country is near Lake Hazlett, south east of Balgo and is an important site for the native cat Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) who lived here. Kalpanu is also an important ceremonial site for Tingari Men.
