TALI (SANDHILLS)
This piece depicts the network of tali (sandhills) that runs along vast areas of Nellie’s home country in the Western Desert, and the rockhole found here is called Kalimpinpa. These sandhills are set in parallel rows, shaped by the direction of the winds that have formed them. The valleys between these dunes are very productive and support a wider range of edible plants, medicines, and wildlife. Other areas can be remarkably barren, depending on the build-up of water and the quality of the soil.
Nellie was commissioned by the FabAlice Festival in Alice Springs to paint a rainbow artwork for their launch party, which was held at Yubu Napa Art Gallery in September 2018. We showed Nellie the Pride flag and asked her if she could create a beautiful painting using the colours of the flag. Being a creative woman, Nellie used the colours to tell her Tali story in this vibrant palette. This design was a lot of fun for Nellie to take inspiration from, and she has continued to experiment with these colours.
