Explication d’une œuvre :

Taylor was born at this important site of the Wanampi Tjukurpa, the Rainbow Serpent or Water Snake Dreaming. The Malara Wanampi is his Tjukurpa totemic ancestor, the place of the Water Serpent Dreaming. Taylor is Nguraritja, a traditional custodian of this Tjukurpa. There were many water holes that the Wanapmi travelled through.

“That Wanampi came from Malara. He went to Kunytjanu near Pipalyatjara. From Kunytjanu, that Wanampi kept walking, walking. He came to Tjuntun (kutjupa - different to Tjuntun at Fregon.) near Watarru. He threw one spear and made that rockhole. He went right in that rockhole and then travelled back to Malara". This is an interesting conflict story.
