Artist : DENISE LONG
Title : Purkitji (Sturt Creek)
Size/Medium : 1200 x 600mm: acrylic on linen Painting

Denise has painted a story with permission from Boxer Milner (deceased) but because it is a man’s story, she has covered it up.

She has painted country around Purkitji (Sturt Creek) north of Balgo, including the flooding of the creek, the changes it brings to country, and the “milky water” which is generated during the wet season after heavy rains.
