This minimalist work is comprised of a suite of three paintings. The red, white and yellow roundels are each painted against a black background, illustrating some aspects of the Tingari Cycle story ( the Tingari are mythological beings who traveled over vast areas of the country). The artist depicts a combination of landscape and ceremonial body designs. Since aspects of the Tingari Cycle are sacred and of a secret nature, no additional details are given
