Through her work, the artist pays tribute to the myths of her people. Here it is the sacred site of Mina Mina that is evoked.     This episode occurred in the ‘Dreamtime’ - the mythical time of the creation of the world for the Aborigines - in the sacred region of Mina Mina, to the west of Yuendumu. As a group of Ancestor women of all ages were gathering food and collecting ngalyipi (or snake vine, a type of vine used as a cord to hang bags over their shoulders or even as a remedy for headaches) while performing ceremonies, digging sticks (karla-ngu) emerged from the ground. They picked them up and continued their wanderings, dancing and creating sacred sites - rocks, waterholes, etc. - throughout their mythical journey. - throughout their mythical journey, which took them beyond the limits of their clan territory. The small strokes around the star-shaped motifs infuse this canvas with a joy and vigour reminiscent of the work of Keith Haring. Like most artists from the Central Desert, Geraldine Granites uses dot painting, inspired by the floor paintings traditionally produced for ritual ceremonies.
