Ernabella artist Nura Rupert met up with Basil at Yulara in March to do some new sugarlifts. Thanks to Maruku Arts, we were able to work at their warehouse adjacent to the Rock (Uluru). Nura painted four little plates in purple sugarlift solution and the four editions have now been commenced in Darwin. We only had a morning to work together, so it was fast and furious with Ernabella Manager Deb Myers and Basil quickly drying each drawing so it could be covered in bitumen and finally dissolved in hot water. We needed to get to this stage so Nura could dot her eyes.
