Walka for Seed Pods in Tali Ngura by Fiona Pompey, 40x30cm

Walka for Seed Pods Found in Tali Ngura by Fiona Pompey beautifully depicts seed pods nestled within the sandhill country of the desert. This region, spanning across the border of the Northern Territory into the Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands in far northern South Australia, holds deep cultural significance. The ancient landscape, shaped by creation beings, still breathes with life and spirit in the spaces between the sand dunes.

Fiona Pompey, born in Alice Springs on March 26, 1975, and raised in Fregon on the APY Lands, is a celebrated artist renowned for her mesmerising depictions of sand dunes and walka . Her walka captures the essence of desert flora—seed pods, flowers, and leaves—intertwined with the natural beauty of sandhills. Fiona’s work, primarily created for Kaltjiti Arts, reflects the deep connection to Aboriginal culture and the landscape. This unique style is rooted in the storytelling tradition of Milpatjunany , passed through generations by drawing in the sand.
