Taylor Cooper is a lawyer who is highly respected by his peers. He was born near the sacred place of Malara (a natural water reserve) in the north of South Australia, to which he pays tribute through monumental paintings. Born in 1940, he only began painting in 2009. High dignitaries like Taylor are accustomed to painting on the ground using natural pigments during religious ceremonies. This also explains the large format of his canvases.

Pilta is the well-known tjukurpa story of the two water snakes who live in the Pilta Rockhole with their two wives. This is the land of Witji's mother, near Kanpi on the Anangu Pitjantjatjara/Yankunytjatjara Lands (APY Lands) in the far north of South Australia.

The vibrancy of ‘Piltati: Wanampi Tjukurpa’, which is in the Aboriginal tradition with its use of dot painting, satelite vision and motifs representing its territory, will be appreciated.
