Warlayirti Artists
Title: Piltalpa
Acrylic on canvas: 76.2 x 51.5 x 2.4cm
Timothy has painted some of his family's Country, south-west of Balgo, around the middle stretches of the Canning Stock Route. This Country is named Piltalpa after the large soakwater to the left of the painting. During the Tjukurrpa (Dreamtime) an old man crawled all around this country searching for water in all the smaller soakwaters depicted, however they were all dry. Piltalpa had water in it, but the old man died before he found it. The majority of the painting depicts the tali (sandhills) that dominate the Country.
