The paintings presented here depict mythical stories that happened during the Creation Times of the world. The ancestors wandered through the Warlpiri land and created the landforms: rocks, riverbeds and ponds. They also taught people how to perform ceremonies (dance, sing, and paint their bodies) and how to find and prepare food. They also showed how to make string from human hair and use it.
The concentric circle in the center of the 'Woman Body Painting' represents the ceremonial setting, and the 'U' shapes symbolize seated women. The semicircles represent patterns painted on women's bodies during the ceremony.
In the painting 'Hair String', the sinusoidal line represents a string made of hair, and the concentric circles represent ceremonial places and characteristic landforms.
