Title : Wangkartu
Size/Medium : 457 x 305mm: acrylic on canvas Painting
Helicopter has depicted his traditional Country, located far to the southwest of Balgo in the heart of the Great Sandy Desert. This land lies near Nyinmi and is known as Wangkartu — named after the tjurrnu (soakwater) that once sustained him as a young man, travelling and hunting with his family across the desert.
The painting is marked by long, flowing parallel lines that represent the tali — the sand dunes — that shape and define this vast and powerful landscape. Through these lines, Helicopter evokes both memory and geography, mapping the contours of a life lived close to Country.
