Explications pour cette œuvre :

Fred Grant (1943) knows the boundless sandhills, the endless skies and extensive forests of Spinifex Country. He's walked the rich cultural fabric that embraces his land wherever he looks and he has in􀆟mate knowledge of the life sustaining water sources that are its foundation of survival in an arid environment. Fred paints with the passive authority of someone that knows they belong to the intimacy of a landscape with a powerful religion at its heart. Here he depicts the significant site of Ukatatjara situated in the north of traditional Spinifex Lands. This site forms part of the Tjitji Ngataatjiri Tjukurpa (Giant Man Crea􀆟on Line) and follows the movement of a giant as he traverses different sites. These are creation beings, the ones that shaped all things and gave the physical landscape the religion that still guides Anangu today.
