In this print Mavis Nampitjinpa paints her Tjukurrpa (Dreaming), the Water Dreaming. It's north of Kintore. For Aboriginal people of the Western Desert, Kapi (water) is a crucial resource for survival. When the rains arrive in the desert the landscape comes to life with all the desert flowers blooming, bush tucker abundant and people taking advantage of all the joys that water brings.
