Timo Hogan does not paint the picture. He paints the story. And the story is the big picture. He calmly applies the paint to Lake Baker with the quiet authority of someone recreating the country they know intimately. For here at Lake Baker, Timo tells Of the religion within the landscape and the inhabitants that made it so. He surveys the Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) of his birthright and brings this into focus on the two dimensional plane for all to see. In this composition Timo has depicted the Two Men as the physical manifestation of two small grass knolls upon the lake. The two men carefully monitor the lakes expanse as the ever present Wanampi (powerful water serpent) defines the perimeter of the lake, always watching, aware of the Two Men. It is this interaction between the inhabitants of the lake that is ever present and allows Timo the creative latitude of a constantly changing landscape. These characters that Timo talks Of are the Creation beings. Those that came before and shaped the environment as they moved through it, leaving indelible physical reminders of their power and presence for all to see. But they also intertwined a religious moral framework within the habitat and covered it with song and dance.
