Ian Rictor paints with vigour the Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line). A significant narrative which follows a father and son Wanampi (water serpent) as they traverse the Spinifex Lands on ceremonial business, Rictor depicts the Wanampi at critical water source. "Mama and katja are meeting at their Ngura (home-place) near Kamanti." This particular Tjukurpa is one of the most prevalent Mens' creation narratives within Spinifex Country.
