Acrylic on canvas 1220 x 710mm $1520
In this painting Annette has depicted many rock holes (circles) where water collects after the rains. The lines
connecting the rock holes are the creeks or water courses. Water is an essential element in the desert and knowledge
of rock hole sites is passed from generation to generation and revered by all Anangu (people). These rock holes are
an important source of water particularly during the dry season. As such, the circle motif has developed as a central
theme in Papunya art works.
