Lilly has used the natural designs of tali or sand hills that predominate the country around Mt Leibig and Papunya as her inspiration for this painting. The tali form waves across the desert. Her depictions of country refer to the effect of wind and rain on the desert landscape, and the crucial waterholes found in the area. Lilly’s works evoke the ephemeral nature of the drifting, changing sandy country in the finest microcosmic detail. Rain streaks the land as it runs off the sand hills while the blowing wind folds them into the undulating waves of an infinite expanse. Beholding each work in is entirety, is to view the landscape in macrocosm as the eye follows the hypnotic fine doting and muted tones that build up into a mysterious, enigmatic topography of her land. Rendered in intricate detail, with subtle colour variations these paintings covey powerful and inspiring visions of her country.
