- Artwork story
- This painting depicts designs associated with Womens' Ceremonies at the rockhole site of Kiwirrkura, near where the community now stands. The 'U' shapes represent a group of women who gathered at the site to perform ceremonies. The black arcs show the tracks left in the sand by the womens' feet when they were dancing. While in the area the women gathered the bean-like food known as Walpurru.
