This painting is accompanied by a certificate of
authenticity from Delmore Gallery which reads in part
'Her application of red acrylic on a yellow ochre
canvas works very well in her abstract expression of
the 'Ayippa' grass found near Soapy Bore on Utopia
Station. This grass, is described by Lily as 'Alerte
tucker' - meaning, Black-tailed wallaby food. This
species is 'sung up' in ceremony by the women of this
place, with Lily, as chief custodian of this species.'
