About

Known as the Kayili artists, Pulpurru Davies, Nola Campbell, Mary Gibson, Jackie Kurltjunyintja Giles and Ngipi Ward were among the last nomadic desert peoples forced into settler life. They now live in a small community at Patjarr, a thousand kilometres west of Alice Springs in the heartland of the Western Desert, the desert now populated with cars, some functional, many in various stages of decay.
