Mukaki I - Bush Plum Dreaming (26/50)

Paddy CARROLL TJUNGURRAYI was one of five Papunya Tula artists invited to submit designs for the mosaic for the new Parliament House in Canberra.

Paddy "stopped" at Papunya in the mid-1970's where he observed some of the elder men painting their dreamings on canvas and began to paint himself. He gained the reputation of being among the foremost of the Western Desert artists and painted for many major exhibitions in most Australian capitals.

In 1988 he painted the concentric circles for the Bicentennial $10.00 polymer bank note and in 1991 he travelled to the United States with Dinny Nolan Jampitjinpa on a working exhibition.

His work is represented in the Art Gallery of South Australia, National Gallery of Australia, Canberra, Parliament House, Canberra, Australian Museum, Sydney; University of Western Australia Anthropology Museum; Holmes a Court Flinders University Art Museum, Broken Hill Art Gallery and many others..
