Explications pour cette œuvre :

Lawrence Pennington (1934) touches the deepest qualities of the Tjukurpa in the unseen, taking the broad brush to minimal resemblance of the characters that inhabited the first journey. He guides the significant site of Mituna effortlessly onto the canvas, channelling the essence of Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) from a time before when Lawrence walked throughout Spinifex Country. A time when he walked with the Song, following the physical manifestation in the landscape left by the creation beings, of the stories that made it so, of the characters that played out the journey.

The Two Men are a father and son Wanampi (powerful water serpent) who traverse the vast tracts of Spinifex Country on ceremonial business. The son is forever becoming embroiled in conflict and the father must keep watchful eye and resolves his sons problems. These are creation beings who changed the landscape with their moral actions, as moved through it, leaving indelible physical reminders of their power and presence of transformation.
