Artist Details: Paddy Carrol was born circa 1927 and grew up in his mothers country near the site of Winparrku in the region of Haasts Bluff. The family would come in to collect rations from Yuendumu and Haasts Bluff. He is another artist who can trace back to the Coniston Massacre of 1928 where his father was shot by Europeans. Paddy began painting with Papunya Tula Artists in 1977 following a long career as a stockman, quickly becoming reknown for the scale and detail of his works which vividly demonstrated his extensive knowledge of ceremonial law - in this case via his Bush Tomato Dreaming. Paddy is most often quoted in response to a journalist puzzling over the meaning of a paintings complex iconography that, "We have had to learn your language, now its time you learned ours'. Paddy lived with his second wife Ruby Nangala in their new house at Three Mile outstation just North of Papunya Tula for many years until his recent passing away.
