Ginger and Iyawi Wikilyiri are husband and wife from Nyapari Community. They are both senior artists at Tjungu Palya. The first collaborative work they made together was a highly celebrated piece at Desert Mob 2012. It was acquired by the host gallery, inot the Araulen Collection. They have since worked together on a small number of very special collaborative pieces. They paint a husband and wife story from Pukara, which depicts a pair of dangerous ancestral wanampi (water snakes).
