Graham Gordon Tjupurulla Wilkinkarra 2004
Acrylic on canvas 1200 x 800mm $1950
Graham has painted the country of his grandfather, Tjumpo Tjapanangka. This country is located south of Balgo
in the Great Sandy Desert and centred around the vast salt lake named Wilkinkarra (Lake McKay). The country
here is dominated by tali (sandhills) while the central circle is a tjurrnu (soakwater) which was created by a snake
during the Tjukurrpa (Dreaming).
