“Sod the wine, I want to suck on the writing. This man White is an instinctive writer, bloody rare to find one who actually pulls it off, as in still gets a meaning across with concision. Sharp arbitrage of speed and risk, closest thing I can think of to Cicero’s ‘motus continuum animi.’

Probably takes a drink or two to connect like that: he literally paints his senses on the page.”

BEFORE THE GRAPE INVASION

My Country: collaborative work by three generations of the Kelly family of Papunya, near Alice Springs in the Northern Territory. This work is by Lilly and her sister Topsy Peterson Napangardi; Lilly’s daughters Dolsi Kelly and Norma Kelly; Topsy's Daughter Christine Peterson Nangala and Dolsi's daughter Georgina.

"The country designs they use have been passed down for many generations, and only the Kelly Family owners can paint them. Each woman is permitted to bring her own style to the painting of the design ..." Ultimate Art.
