This work is accompanied by a certificate from Tjala Arts which states: ‘The women at Tjala Arts community have painted this canvas together in support and memory of their friend and family member, who recently came home to spend his last days on Country in Amata. Each woman’s hand is discernible, however the painting comes together seamlessly as a beautiful celebration of shared Country seen through the eyes of the painters.’
