Helicopter Tjungurrayi Wangkartu 2006
Acrylic on canvas 800 x 1200mm $9000
Helicopter has painted some of his country south of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert. This country is named Wangkartu
after the tjurrnu (soakwater) featured in the centre of the painting. Wangkartu is an inta (living water) so always contains
drinking water. The parallel lines in the painting represent the tali (sandhills) that dominate the country. This is the country
where Helicopter was born.
