This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole and soakage site of Marrapinti, west of the Kiwirrkura community. The ‘U’ shapes represent a group of women and children who are gathered around the two rockholes at the site. The lines in the background of the work represent the Sandhills surrounding the area. While in the area the women gathered the edible berries known as kampurarrpa or desert raisin from the small shrub Solanum centrale. They later travelled to Lake Mackay.
