Tiger Palpatja Mai Tjuta - Plenty Food 2006
Acrylic on canvas 1220 x 1220mm SOLD
Tiger is telling us about favorite traditional foods the Pitjantjatjara people hunted and cooked to eat. The larger
animal shapes are lizards. The spots or dots indicate that he has painted the Perentie or Monitor lixard, which is
recognisable by its large spots on its back. The smaller lizards are Tinka or Sand Goanna and Langka or Blur
Tongue lizards. The circles with dots represent kampurarpa or bush raisin.
