about this painting: This painting depicts designs associated with a rockhole site of Marrapinti, south-west of the Kiwirrkura community in Western Australia. The roundels represent sandhills. The lines represent sandhills in the area. In ancestral times a group of women camped at this site, collecting desert raisins, which they ground into a paste and cooked it in to a type of damper. The rocky outcrop at this site is said to have been formed from mounds of these berries.
