Explications pour cette œuvre :

Kanta (1944) was born at Kapi Piti Kutjara, the place where Wati Kutjara (Two Serpent Men) emerged and headed for Pukara. The Wati Kutjara story is one of the most important and wide ranging stories in Spinifex country. Although much of the specific detail is dangerous and secret the general actions and directions of the father and son are well known and understood to have been essential to the formation and activation of much of the country.

Water is a precious resource and thus permanent waterholes have sacred associations. They are guarded by their creators, Wanampis (Dreaming Serpent Beings) who have magical abilities. These Dreaming Beings are powerful and often dangerous so Anangu must approach them with respect and perform certain ritual according to the Law. Kathleen paints many such sacred water sources including Ilkurlka, Pirapi, Upi, Tjawanya, Karnka, Warurungka, Urnpun, Takari, Mulyaya, Talitjulpul, Mamatju and Wangalritja, an area collectively dense with Spinifex lore. Typically in Spinifex life, Tjukurpa and the everyday often converge bringing together the sacred and the secular.
