When I am painting I am thinking about the Tjukurrpa that all the ladies know - the minyma kutjara. This country has strong culture. I am painting those ladies travelling through that gap near Kaltukatjara. They came all the way from South Australia. I am only painting a little bit of this story, the part that is right here. I am painting the kapi (rockholes), tali (sandhills), puli (hills) and karru (creek) of this place.
