STORY
This work depicts a Womenā€™s site near an important Rockhole, near Tjukurla. The soft roundelā€™s represent the rockholes as well as a ceremonial site. The lines represent sandhills. This site is an important site for Jorna. Jorna paints with a softening of iconography through interlacing with intricate finely dotted patterning. This soft dotting technique is characteristic of many of the Mount Liebig women artists
