Yukultji Napangati was born at Marrapinti, a sacred women’s ceremonial site, and spent her early life living semi-nomadically in the bush. In 1984, at the age of fourteen, she and her family were reunited with Pintupi kin at the newly established community of Kiwirrkura after being sighted by settler Australians. Drawing on Dreamings associated with Marrapinti – her mother’s Country – her dense networks of lines and dots evoke the windswept sand dunes of her Gibson Desert homelands near Lake Mackay. Using stippling and dotting organised into undulating lines, subtle gradations and shifts in colour suggest the optical effect of shimmering heat and light on sand.
