This one's been a long time coming... this amazing Watarru Community Collaborative is one of the few works that regularly gets pulled out for visitors to the gallery and when it does it often gets left out as everyone who walks by is drawn to it. The work uses the unique combination of a typical white man's geographical expression of a landscape and an aboriginal perspective in which we delve into legendary images and stories.
This collaborative artwork includes the following female artists:
Katrina Pollard Nampitjinpa - granddaughter of Telstra winner, Ngoia Pollard
Bronwyn Jimmy - daughter of Wipana Jimmy
Tinpulya Mervin - community leader and artistic leader for this work
Wipana Jimmy - community leader, key driver of the establishment of Watarru community in the mid 1980s and cousin of Jimmy Baker
Anne Dixon Nangala - daughter of Wipana Jimmy
Imitjana Pollard - daughter of Ngoia Pollard
