Fred Tjakamarra Ngaro Ngaro 2001
Acrylic on linen 600 x 450mm $950
Fred has painted some of his country which is south east of Balgo, in the Great Sandy Desert. The country
depicted here is known as Ngaro Ngaro, giving its name to some tali, or sand dune country, which holds a
variety of soakwaters, or tjurmu. Some of the tjurmu shown here are Ngankarl, Kurra, Tjimari, Ngaro Ngaro,
Lirapunta, Nokarpunta, and Murrilpatj. The four enclosed shapes depict the parmarr, or rocky hills of the area.
