This work testifies to the attachment of the Pintupi painters to their native land by evoking a sacred site created in the Dreamtime by the mythical Tingari men who roamed the desert with their wives and apprentices, whom they initiated into the secrets of Creation.
This painting depicts the marshland, rocky holes and river of the Nyinmi site, to the east of Jupiter Well.
In the Dreamtime - the time of creation for the Aborigines - a Tjapagangka man and a Napurrula woman are said to have camped on the Nyinmi site. They dug for witch worms in the roots of a bewitched bush (Acacia Kempeana).
