In this painting Annie Pitjara Hunter depicts her semi-abstract perception of women’s bodies painted in preparation for Women's Business. They are decorated with red, yellow, white and purple - painted as if seen from an aerial perspective.
The women sit and chant the songlines that have been passed down to them from their ancestors. It is at these ceremonial meetings that the women pass on their tribal Dreamings to the younger ones.
In Aboriginal law, this ritual knowledge of the stories and ceremonies connecting people to their country is essential for everyday living and survival.
