RAYMOND MAXWELL TJAMPITJINPA (born 1955)
Acrylic on Belgian linen
91 x 91 cm


This painting depicts designs associated with the site of Kaakuratintja (Lake
MacDonald). In mythological times a large group of Tingari men, both young and
old, travelled to this site from the west. On their approach to Kaakuratintja a
fierce hailstorm occurred which killed them all. Since events associated with the
Tingari Cycle are of a secret nature no further detail is given.
