Ned Grant intertwines himself within the landscape, unable to separate. He is a manifestation of the enormity of place that is
Spinifex Land. With all of its labyrinthine religion within the physical, the flora, the fauna, the manta (ground). He moves under it, through it, above it, encompassing all. Religion is everywhere, it is sung, it is danced by firelight and it resides in and drives Ned Grant to paint. Ned describes the Tjukurpa at this site as milmilpa meaning that the stories that created this place are dangerously sacred referencing the Wati Tjuta Tjukurpa (Many Men Creation Line). The rockholes present in his composition are Tjantuwa (the smaller of the two) and Tjalutjara. The trees that surround this site are kanturangu otherwise known as the Desert Poplar (Codonocarpus cotinifolius). This is a significant tree in the Spinifex Country as it holds maku or witchetty grubs that are an essential food of the Spinifex people.
