Kamanti, Pur-Pur

Tjaduwa has painted the country around Kamanti, Purr-Purr, Tarantjara, Baki and Palka-Paalka Creek to the north of where she was born.  The painting depicts country and stories that can only be discussed in very general detail publicly as they are stories belonging to Spinifex men.  Around Tjaduwa's birthplace in terms of Tjukurpa (sacred stories) are elements of the initiation process whereby a young boy has a hole made in his nose with the help of sacred birds and Marlu, the red kangaroo.
