In this work, the artist has created a striking minimalist orchres and white on black background design, depicting the ancestral women dancing across the country of Mina Mina, across the terrain and around the soakages of Mina Mina and the crustations that form when rainwater recedes; through the spinifex clumps and over the sand hills.
One of the artists early works, where she is exploring negative space, to allow the viewer to enter into her landscape and travel in and out.
