ENQUIRE
This work shows the dog people meeting with the Kungkas or local women of the dog country, the artist’s mother’s home country. In the early days the dogs were also human until they took on the form of massive dogs that track across country with the women.
The Dog Country is deeply sacred lands and nothing may be removed from the country without the spirit dogs attacking the thieves. The artist is a very elderly deaf mute woman now living in Papunya.
Tilly paints out bush and is in close harmony with the lands of her home.
