Elizabeth Marks has used a highly geometric design reminiscent of the ‘labyrinths’ of the Pintupi artists (the artist's clan) to depict a sacred watering hole, Kalipinpa, situated to the north of Sandy Blight Junction, near Kintore, her native territory.

The story goes that during the Dreamtime - the mythical time of Creation for the Aborigines - a gigantic storm and a great deal of lightning broke out in this region. Torrents of water filled the holes in the rocks, forming small reservoirs.

Kalipinpa is one of these reservoirs, and the memory of this beneficent ‘flood’ is still celebrated through various ceremonies in which the many ‘dreams’ associated with the site are drawn on the ground, danced and sung, in particular those of water, lightning and the bush potato, an essential element in the diet of the region's tribes in archaic times.
