National Gallery of Australia, Kamberri/Canberra, purchased 1993 93.1903.A-V
In later years Kngwarray broadened the colour spectrum and techniques she used in her paintings. The most ambitious work from this era is the 22-panel opus entitled The Alhalker suite. A kaleidoscopic view of Alhalker Country, this painting is a multi-faceted portrait of her land. The painting offers an aerial perspective of the winding waterways, spinifex sandplains and the variable topographies of Alhalker, all condensed within a work that conveys an intense gravitational energy.
