Tjakamarra Kutjarra is a series of contrast and mutuality. Both Dennis Tjakmarra Nelson and Simon Tjakamarra Yuungut have a significant inheritance from independent Tjupurrula fathers. Fathers who pioneered the Western Desert Art Movement. Intergenerational knowledge is the ground, the stylistic contrast reinvigorates Tjukurrpa (Dreaming), identity, perception and the individual in unity.
- Willie Ackerman, Papunya Tjupi Manager
