In portraying her Mina Mina the artist has created a striking linear work that stretches out across the landscape in the white on black and delicate ochre tones. This painting can be read like a map through which the women move; across the terrain, around the soakages of Mina Mina and it’s crustations of salt; through the spinifex clumps and over the sandhills. The artist’s fascination with the movements across " country " is beautifully captured in this painting, taking the viewer on a journey as the eyes move across the canvas.
