This painting depicts designs associated with the rockhole site of Tjiparitjarra,
near rocky outcrops and a large sandhill, west of Jupiter Well. In mythological
times a large group of Tingari men visited this site before travelling east,
passing through Kiwirrkura and then north-east to Tarkul and Lake Mackay.

with one of Jeremy Long’s government patrols. He was a young teenager at
the time and was initiated in Papunya after arriving. Charlie commenced painting
for Papunya Tula Artists in 1978. In 1999 Charlie contributed to the Kintore
mens’ painting as part of the Western Desert Dialysis Appeal. His first
solo exhibition was in 2002 with Scott Livesey Art Dealer.
