Acrylic on linen 1000 x 1500mm SOLD
Kathleen has painted some country south of Balgo in the Great Sandy Desert. The country depicted here is named
Nakarra Nakarra. This is the site of the Seven Sisters Dreaming, a story about seven sisters who travelled this
country during the Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime) running from an old man who wanted to marry the youngest. Today at
Nakarra Nakarra a group of hills embody the seven sisters. The circles represent the tjurrnu (soakwaters) that
are found in this country.
