The painting by Alma Nungurrayi Granites depicts the great Warlpiri story of the ancestral Napaljarri Sisters, or Seven Sisters, found in the night sky in the star cluster known as the Pleiades, in the constellation Taurus. Artists who paint this Dreaming explain it is the story of an Ancestral Being in the guise of a man who relentlessly pursues seven sisters over land and sky. Alma Nungurrayi Granites presents a powerful view of the seven women against an intricate and deeply complex sky.

The Artist, Alma Nungarrayi Granites (1955 - 2017), was a Warlpiri woman who lived at Yuendumu on the edge of the Tanami Desert. She started to paint in earnest in 2007, developing a rich and imaginative style, while remaining true to her Warlpiri culture.
