STORY
The centre of this painting represents a sacred Women's Dreaming site associated with the green pea (awenth). Depicted throughout the painting are seeds (ntang) of the pea, which are an important food for the 'traditional healer' (ngangkar), and the Mountain Devil Lizard (Arnkerrth). The elongated X-shape represents two of the artist's Dreaming paths.The painting portrays the area scattered with seeds and the sand-hills created by the swirling sandstorm as it moved across the country.
