KAY BAKER (born c.1955, Pitjantjatjara Language Group) Kanpi 2010 synthetic polymer paint on canvas inscribed verso with artist's name, date, title and Tjungu Palya cat. no. TPKB10090 119 x 200.5cm PROVENANCE: Tjungu Palya, Nyapari, South Australia (accompanied by a certificate of authenticity) Private collection, Melbourne OTHER NOTES: "This is the Kanpi story of the Kalaya (emu) and the Kipara (bush turkey). All the baby emus were looking for their father. He had gone and left them in the wiltja (shelter) while he went off to trick the Kipara. When the emu found the Kipara man he said 'I've eaten all my children! I think you should do the same'. Really all his children were sitting at home. The emu had many children, but the Kipara had only one. The Kipara ate his only child." - Tyungu Palya Arts
