This is Spider's landscape, the counutry where he belongs. Naru is the place where Wati Kutjarra men stopped in the dreamtime, and it is the site where Spider was initiated into manhood. Spider says, "This is where they make me man, Spider. We been walking around but that boys country now." The landscape has an abundance of mayi (bush tucker) amongst the tali (sand dunes).
Painted in 2006.
