Catalogue text
This painting is accompanied by a certificate of authenticity from Short Street Gallery that states: ‘Margaret says “Galli Galli is these two big jila [living water]. They bush way Winpa and Lungarung way. All the jila [living water] belong us. The whole country belong us. The moon over this one.” Margaret’s country is in the Great Sandy Desert in Western Australia, near the Percival Lakes and Well 33 on the Canning Stock Route.’
