Women's Ceremony - Sandhills & Rockholes near Kintore - Wentja Napaltjarri

This work depicts a Women's site near an important Rockhole, near Tjukurla. The central roundel s represent the rockholes as well as a ceremonial site. The lines in the centre represent sandhills. This site is an important site for Wentja's father ,Shorty Lungkata, who was a very prominent Papunya senior artist. Wentja was a finalist in the Telstra national Art Award in 2002.
In contrast to her father's work, Wentja's paintings are less geometric with a softening of iconography through interlacing with intricate finely dotted patterning. This soft dotting technique is characteristic of many of the Mount Liebig women artists
