This artwork refers to the Tingari aboriginal dictionary button Cycle - it recounts the extensive journeys of the Tingari ancestors as they covered the vast expanse of the Western desert to create landforms and teach law to the Pintupi people.


Tingari is instilled in a series of secret songlines and sacred men’s business. The artist uses journey lines or over dotting as a device to protect the highly secretive and private elements.
