Feature artist, Polly Ngale, is a senior custodian of the Bush Plum (Anwekety) Dreaming story (along with her sisters Kathleen and Angelina Pwerle). Polly depicts the bush plum using mainly shades of whites, reds, oranges and yellows to depict the contours of her country and the varying seasonal palette, revealing the bush plum and her country in all its glory. Walala Tjapaltjarri’s work depicts ‘Tingari’, sacred and secret men’s songs and stories associated with a number of sites in his traditional homelands. Today he is regarded as one of the most significant of the Western desert artists with his work held in significant institutional and private collections in Australia and around the world. Exceptional works by Eunice Napanangka Jack, Narpula Napurrula Scobie, Kay Napurrula Rubentja and Tatali Napurrula will also be on show.

Along with the central desert artists, highly regarded Balladong, Wadjuk, Noongar, Barry McGuire will exhibit an installation of various implements that were traditionally made and still used today through song and dance to represent the Spider Dreaming. The Wadjuk Spider is native to Garragatup (Kings Park).
