Explications pour cette œuvre :

Dora Parker (1962) paints with a freedom of expression for the sites she depicts and claims her own identity in her painterly compositions.

She now depicts with confidence the significant site of Pukara situated in the north of traditional Spinifex Lands. It is here that Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Men Creation Line) manifests. This epic narrative follows a father and son Wanampi (water serpent) as they traverse the Spinifex Lands on ceremonial business. This particular Tjukurpa is one of the most prevalent Mens' creation narratives within Spinifex and can be painted by some women-as with Dora. These characters described are creation beings' with the power of transformation, not just of themselves but the landscape they moved through. They le􀅌 indelible physical reminders in a mapped environment and wrapped it in song and dance for all to follow.
