Helicopter Tjungurrayi Wangkartu 2005
Acrylic on linen 400 x 300mm SOLD
Helicopter has painted some of his country located far to the south of Balgo. This country is centred around
Jupiter Well where Helicopter was born and spent his formative years. The central circle depicts a tjurrnu
(soakwater) named Wangkartu and is a place Helicopter would visit as a young man. The country here is
dominated by tali (sandhills) as represented by the parallel lines in the painting.
