Pauline Sunfly Nangala

Pauline’s father, Sunfly Tjampitjin, was a senior custodian for country south of Balgo, near vast salt lake of Wilkinkara (Lake MacKay). The country depicted here is named Liltjin. The many lines throughout the painting are the dry creekbeds which during the wet season flow into Wilkinkarra. During the Tjukurrpa (Dreaming) people lived in the holes depicted. This painting depicts similar imagery to the painting “Luurnpa” 1991 by her father Murtiyarru Sunfly Tjampitjin depicted on page 50 of Colour Power.
