This painting depicts body paint designs associated with the Kapi (water) Dreaming site of Kalipinpa, north of Sandy Blight Junction. In mythological times a large group of Tingari Men camped at this site before continuing their travels further west. Since events associated with the Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further details was given. Generally, the Tingari are a group of mythical characters of the dreaming who travelled over vast stretches of the country, performing rituals and creating and shaping particular sites. The Tingari Men were usually followed by Tingari Women and accompanied in a number of songs cycles. These mythologies form part of the teachings of the post initiatory youths today as well as providing explanations for contemporary customs.
