This painting depicts the story associated with Jimmy's Tjukurrpa (dreaming), given to Jimmy by his father. This story is set in Jimmy's traditional country of Tjukakarrinyu, east of Balgo in the Tanami Desert. The central weaving lines represent Tjurrnu (soak water) whilst the patterning surrounding it depict the Tali (sandhills).
