Printed on linen cotton, this design by Alice Nampitjinpa Dixon depicts Takupalangu, west of Kintore - her father Uta Uta Tjangala's Country of rockholes (puli) and sandhills (tali). Takupalangu is a big swamp filled with bush vegetables called mungilpa. When Alice was a small girl she travelled this Country with her family, her mother collecting mungilpa and pummelling it into damper. Alice's Tjukurrpa is the porcupine - Tjilkamala - scurrying about the rockholes and sandhills looking for tucker, while nearby the women are hunting, laying in wait.
Alice was born in 1943 near Talaalpi, close to Walungurru on the Western Australian border, and taught dancing and desert traditions at Kintore School before she began painting. Her father was the late Uta Uta Tjangala, one of the original Papunya Tula painters.
