This painting depicts the site of Warren Creek, just to the west of the Mt. Liebig Community. This is the artist’s grandfather’s country and there are rockholes and soakage waters at the site. The shapes in the work represent the creek, rockholes, soakage sites and sandhills in the area. During mytholgical times a large group of ancestral women camped at Warren Creek gathering the edible berries and fruit growing in the vicinity of the site. These included kampurarrpa (desert raisin), ili (desert fig), ipalu (bush banana) and pura (bush tomato). They also dug for ngari (honey ants) and maku (witchetty grubs).
