Boxer Milner Tjampitjin Ngartimarnu 2001
Acrylic on linen 1200 x 800mm SOLD
Ngartimarnu is the name for some of Boxer's traditional country, which is along the middle stretches of Sturt
Creek or Purkitji. The painting shows on one side the channels of Purkitji. The larger panel shows some of the
hunting that is to be had in the area. Boxer has shown both his weapons - spear and two types of booomerang - and
the prey, in particular two types of lizards, luurnkuta (blue tongue) and minitjurtu. The geometric shape is the
different billabongs in the area.
