STORY
The centre of this painting represents a sacred Womenā€™s Dreaming site associated with the green pea (antweth). Depicted throughout the painting is the artist's country covered with seeds (ntang) of the pea, which are an important food for the ā€�traditional healerā€¯ (ngangkar), and the Mountain Devil Lizard (Arnkerrth). The elongated X-shape represents two of the artistā€™s Mountain Ancestors Dreaming paths. A dry river bed extends along these 'fault lines' ending at the sacred ceremonial site.
