Tali (Sand Hills) by Sharon Napanangka Butcher

In this painting, Sharon Napanangka Butcher depicts Tali, the sand hills that stretch across the desert Country of the Western Desert region. “Tali” refers to the long rolling sand dunes that shape the landscape and guide the journeys of people and ancestral beings across Country.

Using rhythmic patterns, flowing lines and layered dot work, Sharon represents the undulating dunes as they rise and fall across the land. These sand hills are not only physical landmarks but also hold deep cultural knowledge. They are pathways through Country, places where bush foods can be found, and where important Dreaming stories are remembered and passed down through generations.

The soft movement and repeating forms in the painting reflect the quiet beauty and vastness of the desert landscape. Through her work, Sharon celebrates the deep connection between people and Country, honoring the ancestral stories and the knowledge embedded within the sand hills.

Description

Sharon Butcher Napanangka

Sharon Butcher Napanangka was born in Papunya in 1968 and became involved with the Papunya Tjupi Art Centre in 2010 as an artist. She was elected as a Director in 2017. Papunya Tjupi Arts is a 100% Aboriginal-owned and directed community arts organization, rooted in Papunya, the birthplace of the Western Desert dot-painting movement.

Sharon’s paintings vividly depict the waterholes, creeks, and sand hills surrounding Papunya. She is particularly renowned for her Kapi Tjukurrpa (Water Dreaming) works, which illustrate the elements of a storm—wind, rain, thunderclouds, and lightning. The lines in her pieces symbolize rain and the flow of water from the waterholes, often flooding the normally dry creek beds.

Her artwork is featured in numerous Australian galleries, as well as in collections worldwide, establishing her as an emerging artist to watch.
