Lot description
Elizabeth was born at Papunya in August 1959. She was raised by Turkey Tolson Tjupurrula after her father passed away and was married to Mick Namarari Tjapaltjarri. After her husbandâs death in 1998, Elizabeth took up painting herself. In 1999 Elizabeth became the first woman to be appointed a director of Papunya Tula Artists. This painting depicts the designs associated with the rockhole of Kalipinpa, a major water dreaming site, north of Sandy Blight Junction. In mythological times a huge storm erupted in this area causing the water to rush across the land filling the rockholes and forming small creeks. The painting depicts the ceremonial country of the area with various land forms such as sandhills, rockholes, soakages and creeks. There are many dreamings associated with the site including water, lightning and bush potato.
