This painting depicts designs associated with the Water Dreaming at Kalipinypa, which is a site northwest of Sandy Blight Junction, Western Australia. The Dreaming tells of an important rain making ceremony to evoke the elements. It is a powerful storm bringing on the lightning, thunder clouds and rain, sending its deluge to rejuvenate the earth, filling rock holes, clay pans and creeks with water. It has the power to create new life and growth upon the land. The different elements of the painting represent puli (hills), tali (sandhills) and kapi (water).
