The paintings depicts Awelye, body paint design associated with Violet Petyarre's Dreaming , The Mountain Devil Lizard Ancestor (Arnkerrth ).


These Markings are applied onto her upper body, before she re-enacts her Dreaming with many songlines and dance cycles, allowing her to feel close with the spirit Arnkerrth (Mountain Devil Lizard).


The Mountain Devil Lizard, also known as the Thorny Devil Lizard has the ability to change to any colour when threatened.
