Explications pour cette œuvre :

Lance Peck was born at Carnarvon, Western Australia, in 1975. He spent his early years in Manyjilyjarra country, 1,500 kilometres north of Perth. As a young boy he lived on sheep and cattle stations where his mother worked on the domestic staff. He attended school at Coolgardie, Western Australia, and subsequently worked as a stockhand, tracker and then in the mining industry at Wiluna, Western Australia. He was taught to paint at Tjungu Palya in the Western Desert.

His father is Nanda from Northhampton and his mother Indjibandi from Roebourne. He grew up in Wiluna, Western Australia and came to the Ngaanyatjarra and Pitjantjatjarra Lands as a young man. He lives in Kanpi with his wife and daughter.

His narratives relate to Kata Kata rockhole, Wati Kutjara (two snake man Dreaming), Kunarka waterhole (snake man ancestor and Lake Maitland), and Tjitji Wati Kutjara Dreaming.

This artwork refers to a North Pool just off the Canning Stock Route. When they use to drove cattle, they would to stop here and rest and drink. 

Nowadays people stop and camp here. We used to go and get yabbies here with the family. 

The main part of the painting is North Pool and along the edge of the creek bed is where the river red gums grow and off to side are thickets of bush. This is all in really sandy country.
