The story:

Bob is distinguished by the freedom of his composition and his stylistic application of colour, which happens at a frenetic and decisive pace. He carves up the canvas, creating wild shapes in an evocative and highly contemporary reinterpretation of country.
Bob enjoys telling the stories from his father’s country around Patjarr and his mother’s country Kulkurta. This work is
about two snakes and two men who travelled north to Karrkurinkitja. As the party travelled, some strangers came up
behind them and the snakes fled. Then Kurningka (boss of the Tingari men) went looking. The clouds were coming
towards them. The snakes were travelling fast and the water was rising, and the lady snake went in the ant’s hole but
the other snake was left outside. Kurningka was saying, ‘water is coming closer’ but the other snake was too big for the
hole. The Kurningka cut the snake and a lot of fat came out.
The free brush strokes and loose lines evident in this canvas dance around each other displaying the distinctive and
compelling liveliness of his work.
