Wilkinkarra (Lake MacKay) by Mitjili Napanangka Gibson and Cindy Nakamarra Gibson 85x140cm 4358

In this collaborative painting between Mitjili and her daughter Cindy Nakamarra Gibson, they visualise the islands in Lake MacKay - Wilkinkarra - where people such as Mitjili's father (Tjapangardi) and her sisters (Napanangkas) would camp on the islands in the lake (Walatu) and then go away from the islands into the surrounding land to hunt. Some of the smaller eliftireal shapes represent sleeping holes on the ground that they would scoop out as to get away from the cold winter winds.
