Katie has depicted the significant site of Pur-Pur situated on the northern extremes of Spinifex Lands. It is here at Pur-Pur where two epic songlines pass through the lush, soft sand country that surrounds the site. Katie has painted the Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) an epic narrative that follows the journey of a father and son who move through Spinifex Country on ceremonial business and stop at Pur-Pur on their way south. They are a father and son are wanampi (ancestral serpent beings) from Pukara, who transformed the geographical formations of the land as they travelled through it. There is no road in here. Purpurnya is located the other side of Kapiwiyatjara, past the lake. The salt lake chain is depicted by the white circular motifs. The brown area is the rocky country to the edge of the site. This is several hundred kilometres north of the present-day community of Tjuntjuntjara.
