Linda Syddick Napaltjarri

Posted by Aboriginal Art Directory | 04.05.07

Perhaps it is through her famous artist relatives, or just her own deeply etched memories of Pintupi life in the Gibson Desert 65 years ago. But Linda Syddick captures rare images of the spirits of her own ancestors and the Tingari spirits that moved through her Pintupi homelands. As an artist Napaltjarri relives the story of her own familys journey as they crossed the desert to meet the modern world in the 1940s. This epic saga also recalls the hardships of the Tingari ancestors whose own travels created the Dreaming tracks and sites of the Pintupi desert world.
