Gladys Daniels paints the tali (sandhills) that define the topography of her desert country. Her style of
painting is characteristic of Western Desert artists, using dot and line work to represent ancient, sacred Dreaming stories.
Using this seemingly simple mark-making technique, Gladys creates incredible optical-style art with rhythm, movement
and depth.
Gladys often depicts significant land formations like waterholes or 'tali' (sandhills), as well as painting the Tingari Dreaming Cycle. The Tingari is part of the Creation era, when Dreaming ancestors traversed across the Western Desert, creating the features of the landscape as they went, and performing rituals of song and dance to ensure the passing on of knowledge to the next generation.
