George's distinctive style represents the claypan of Mamultjulkunga, a soakage water site north-west of Lake Mackay where the artist's father passed away. Two Tingari men made camp at this site, one man from the Tjangala kinship subsection and the other man from the Tjapaltjarri kinship subsection. After rain the claypan becomes a freshwater lake. A fleshy sub-shrub known Tecticornia Verrucosa is prominent in the area and its seed (mungilypa or samphire) are collected and ground into a paste and cooked on coals to make a form of unleavened bread.


Please note that all Australian First Nations Art is created from a so called ‘Birds Eye’ view. This means that the paintings can be hung either horizontally as well as vertically.


SmithDavidson Gallery represents a wide range of Australian First Nations Art, please contact for additional information.
