In his essay 'Nature, Time and Painting', Darren Jorgensen notes that. 'The final style at work on Thomas's painting is represented in Untitled (lot 71) and Jalpiny. Jalpiny is the name of the desert banksia, once a source of sugar for the desert people. Thomas rediscovered the flower during a trip into the desert with (Kevin) Kell, after which whiteness began to take over his canvases." ibid, p.108
