STORY
This painting depicts a major women’s ceremonial site known as Mina Mina, the artist’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 it’s crustations of salt; through the spinifex clumps and over the sandhills.
