Elizabeth Gordon Napaltjarri Nampitjin 2006
Acrylic on canvas 300 x 800mm $750
Elizabeth has painted some of the country south of Balgo. This is tali (sandhill) country. The 'u' shapes represent
groups of nampitjin women sitting around telling stories. They are digging holes with their digging sticks and
hunting for goanna. The painting also shows bushfires, a snake and a cave. The lines that dominate the painting
represent the surrounding parma (hills) and tali (sandhills).
