Explications pour cette œuvre :

Timo Hogan (1973) does not paint the picture. He paints the story. And the story is the big picture. For here at Lake Baker, Timo tells of the religion within the landscape and the inhabitants that made it so. Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) is present for all to see. These two men watch carefully as the resident Wanampi (magical water serpent) departs his kapi ngura (home in the rock hole) and becomes the fearful, the all powerful, as he skirts the edge of the lake, always watching, aware of the Two Men.

These characters that Timo talks of are the Creation beings. Those that came before and shaped the

environment as they moved through it, leaving indelible physical reminders of their power and presence for all to see. But they also intertwined a religious moral framework within the habitat and covered it with song and dance.
