Mount Liebig, towards Papunya. When you see the hills from a distance, the wind blows through the sands, making the hills move and change form. The wind makes ripples, undulations and ridges in the sand in the same shapes and patterns that can be seen in this painting. These sandhills are a common sight around Papunya, some of the hills are so large they can only be walked across.

It illustrates aspects of landscape and culture that was told to Damien by his great-grandparents. Women sit with children collecting bush potatoes (the red shapes at the top of the painting) and are preparing for inma (ceremony). One man, wati, sits down with his waru (spear). Controlled burnings are taking place as the spinifex is dry, and this means good fruits can grow. The small star-like symbols represent women’s body paint that the women paint on each other for inma. A dry creekbed runs through the painting (in red and white), and there are cracks in the claypans, dried rockholes (tjukula), and sandhills (tali).\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eYankirri Jukurrpa (Emu Dreaming) Design - The design is owned by Pauline Singleton.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003cem\u003eThis particular site of the Yankirri Jukurpa (emu dreaming) is at Ngarlikurlangu, north of Yuendumu.
