Warlayirti Artists, Balgo, Western Australia
Private collection, Melbourne acquired from the above during a visit to the art centre in 1996
This work is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Warlayirti Artists which states:
‘Eubena is one of the true desert people as she was born in the desert and wandered with her family as they lived the hunter gatherer lifestyle. She was told many stories and myths from the “Tjukurrpa” (Dreamtime) and in this painting she has shown her country with its hills and creeks. Bush tucker is also depicted. This painting depicts a well near the Canning Stock Route where her people used to draw water.’
