Untitled (Study for 'Emily Kame Kngwarreye with Lily'), 1993
Jenny Sages made these drawings as she sat with Emily Kngwarreye and her friend Lily under their 'talking tree'.

The fifteen works in the series, recording the changing expressions on the Anmatyerre woman's face and her shifts between lively and impassive postures, work together like the storyboard of a film of Emily Kngwarreye.
