Barney Campbell was a highly respected lawman who first met white men when he was a young boy.
He had known only a semi-nomadic life until then and continued to move from community to community throughout his life.
Here he celebrates the splendour of his sacred land with labyrinthine forms presented in the form of a 'satellite vision'. Here the memory of the Tingari men, the artist's ancestors, is evoked.
The Tingari men are mythical figures who, in the Dreamtime, moved across the present Australian continent, shaping particular sites and celebrating sacred rituals.
