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.Made up of two enormous soakage areas and endless sandhills, Mina Mina is where Dorothy and her aunts (Napanangkas) perform rituals of dance and song as part of their passing on of Tjukurrpa. Like the sandhills in constant flux around and through the artistā€™s country so too does this painting move, backwards and forwards, the rippling effect produced so like that of the windā€™s tracks in the sand.
