STORY
This painting depicts a major womenā€™s ceremonial site known as Mina Mina, the artistā€™s custodial country, located near Lake Mackay in the Tanami Desert, north of Yuendumu in the Northern Territory.This painting can be read like a map through which the women move; across the terrain, around the soakages of Mina Mina and itā€™s crustations of salt; through the spinifex clumps and over the sandhills.
