This story comes from Piltati, west of Amata. The men are brothers and the women are sisters. The ladies every day go out hunting, no missing day. The men stay back at camp and get upset that the ladies go without them. The ladies dig holes everywhere digging for goanna and small things. The men get idea to trick the two ladies to keep them home. They turned into Wanmapi or water snakes and made a hole in the ground, in the big creek near Nyapri. The men went in and made a coloured pattern, moved away and hid so the ladies couldn't see them. When they reach the creek, the ladies say 'what's this?'. They are surprised and start a fire. The smoke spread, everywhere smoke, into the water snake hole. The water snake men swallow their kuri (wires)." As stated on the Tjala Artists certificate of authenticity.

Elaine Warnatjura Lane (1932-) Waratjarra 2006
Est: $3,000 - $5,000
Elaine was born close to Kutukampara rockhole near Mantamaru (Jameson). As a young child she travelled with her family between Papulankutja (Blackstone) and Mantamaru and then back to Warburton Ranges visiting Wirtapiwara, Illinpiri and Watatjara. This imparted a deep attachment to and profound knowledge of her culture and her country. Elaine now lives at Blackstone, close to her brother Jimmy Donegan, a senior Law Man and artist, in remote Western Australia. She is a respected senior law woman and the sister of the well known painter Pantjiti Maclean. Elaine is also a leading fibre artist. She first began making baskets and animal sculptures in 1995 and was part of the team of women from Blackstone who made the full sized grass Toyota that won the National Aboriginal Art Award in 2005. Elaine's work reflects the seasons with many overlapping layers melding together, to express the texture and flow of the land. In this work Elaine has painted the spine of the Blackstone Ranges that wind down the place where the rocks sing.

Ginger Nobby Wikilyiri (c.1958-) The Hungry Man 2006
Est: $3,000 - $4,000
Ginger Wikilyiri was born at Kunamata a rock hole south of Nyapari in 1930. He is senior law man with a passion for land management and worked for many years as a ranger for Uluru-Kata Tjuta National Park. Ginger's marvellously expressive and vibrantly coloured works embody a wealth of traditional knowledge. He employs both figurative elements and dot patterns when composing his highly charged and expressive images. In this Dreaming story a man is so hungry he eats a tree and his kuka (cooked food) all at once. It is a story that is performed with traditional singing and dancing by Anangu Pitjantatjara men. The artist says the dance is like a slow walk.
