Molly Napaltjarri Jugadai Kaarkurutinytja 2008
Acrylic on linen 1830 x 1520mm SOLD
This work describes Kaarkurutinytja (Lake MacDonald) in Western Australia and the surrounding desert landscape.  Molly
paints the Tali Tali (sand hills) and the salt lake Kaarkurutinytja.  This area is sacred to Molly's mother, Narputta Nangala
Jugadai as it is Narputta's father's country.  Narputta left the area as a small child during a prolonged period of drought. 
Narputta still paints the country as a means of keeping connections with the sacred places and stories alive.  To keep this
important story alive, Narputta's eldest daughter Molly Napaltjarri Jugadai has been given permission by her mother to
continue telling this story.
