Works by the Warlpiri People of Lajamanu
This dreaming is about the plentiful bush tomatoes that our people collected all over our country. The ripe tomatoes are found everywhere. There are two sorts of tomatoes, one large and one small. Sometimes the people use a stick to push the seeds out and then dry them in the sun or near a fire. My grandmother sometimes cooked them in the fire for us to eat

Napanangka works with a variety of traditional and contemporary art mediums including body paintings in ochre and acrylic on linen and canvas. She is a very traditional lady who understands her culture. Her family come from Lake Mackay area. She was born in Yuendumu and arrived in Lajamanu at 10 years of age. Napanangka enjoys painting as it is a social activity in Lajamanu. Her experiences of travelling through the desert and life in Lajamanu coupled with knowledge of culture is now shown in defining colours found throughout the Tanami, in flowers, the sky and the salt bed of Lake Mackay. Kitty's artistic style is in keeping with Yawulyu - womens artistic tradition which includes dance, ceremony, art and song.
