This painting depicts designs that evoke various parts of the landscape of Janet's Country, Nyapari. Nyapari is located near Amata in South Australia. The repeated curved shapes represent rock formations and bush tucker. The concentric circles represent waterholes or meeting sites. If present, the U shapes represent women sitting around a waterhole. Janet has depicted spinifex bushes, bush flowers and water courses which are found in Nyapari. Janet's work captures the immense beauty of Nyapari.

In this painting Emily has depicted designs associated with the Janmarda Tjukurrpa (Onion Dreaming) site of Karrinyarra (Central Mt Wedge). Karinyarra is two hours drive North West of the remote Aboriginal community of Papunya, Northern Territory, where there is a large salt lake and sacred spring. At certain times of year the surrounds become covered with bush onion grass creating a creamy texture across the landscape. Women dig at the grass to find the bush onion that grows at the roots. The bush onions are gathered and cooked on the coals of the fire. Once they are cool enough to be held they are rubbed between the hands so that the outer shell comes away revealing the lovely sweet small onion underneath.

Doris has painted a plentiful memory from her past in the early days when she was learning from her mother out at Wilura and Nyumannu. Nyunmanu is a Dreaming site just to the south east of the remote Aboriginal community of Kintore in the Northern Territory Doris talks of her and her mother handling different types of Mangarri (food). As Doris talks about these memories she enacts the handling and eating of Mai (food) and drinking Kapi (water). Doris speaks of breaking open Pura (big wild bush tomatos) to eat the flesh and collecting and eating of ilyuru (a sweet natural cotton-candy-like bush food). Doris talks of different tools to do this like wana (digging sticks) and speaks of other parts of the fruitful landscape such as witya (trees). Now, when Doris sits in Papunya to paint she sits under a large watiya (tree). She remembers that this same type of watiya was at Nyumannu too, and her and her mother would sit under it. Doris recalls the whole family sitting around nikiti way (without clothes in the old days) and without any other Western tools. Doris explains “Billy can wiya! Blanket wiya! Just running around!”.

This painting tells one of many water dreamings from the Papunya area. The circles represent important water or rock hole sites. The background design symbolises the landscape after the rains when the earth has been replenished with new growth. The rock holes collect the water during the rains. Knowledge of where to find water is handed down from generation to generation to ensure survival in the desert. This work represents the elements of a storm - wind, rain, thunderclouds and lightning. It also tells the story of rain and water flowing from the waterholes and flooding the usually dry creek beds. If present, the U shapes are the women sitting around the rock holes.

This painting tells the story of the Bush Potato Dreaming (Yam or Sweet Potato Dreaming). The Bush Potato ancestors came from Yutalu and travelled widely before resting at Yamapunta and then continuing their journey to the north-west. Abundant supplies of bush potatoes bear witness to the Dreamings continuing presence. In this painting Patricia has depicted two women ('U 'shapes) digging for Yalka. The Yalka is eaten raw or roasted in the coals of a fire. It tastes similar to the cultivated sweet potato. The green vine with brown bulbs indicates the Yala. The circles, from which the vine originates, are the holes dug to find the underground potato bulb. The circle in front of the women is the site where they go to find the potato. At the women's side is their digging stick and coolamon (wooden dish for carrying items). The women perform a traditional ceremony in honour of the Yalka where they dance and paint their breast, chest and forearms in ceremonial body designs. They also decorate their bodies with feathers and dance with ceremonial objects such as nulla nullas (a fighting stick also used for ceremonial dancing). The design represents the bush potato vine.

Linda has painted this lake South-West of Kintore. This story was passed on to her by Naputa Nangala Tjukurai who is the sister of Linda's step-father, who passed the story onto her. The circles represent rock holes. The joined together 'U'shapes represent the women collecting water from the lake. Linda has also painted women dancing and women and children sitting around the water hole. The wavy lines at each end of the painting represent the mountain ranges surrounding the Lake McDonald.

In this painting Punata has depicted the country around Mt Denison which also belongs to her father Billy Stockman Tjapaltjarri. The central area represents the creek running through Mt Denison country while the black circles represent ‘sugarbags’ in the surrounding country. Sugarbag (wild honey) or Ngalypuru is the syrup made by the native bees, described as a small stingless honey bee. These insects live up in the trees and the Anangu (Aboriginal people) eat the honey. The honey is found in the tree hollows. To find the honey, the Anangu look for the native bees buzzing around the trees and the wax protruding from the trunks. The tree is then chopped and split to reveal the honey. The honey and the bees’ larvae are all collected in a coolamon or wooden bowl to be eaten.

This painting depicts the Kapi Tjukurrpa (Water Dreaming) at Kalipinypa, North-east of Kintore. The painting tells the story of the rain and hail making ceremony for the site of Kalipinypa. Ancestral forces are invoked to bring on a powerful storm with lightning, thunderclouds and rain sending a deluge to rejuvenate the earth, filling the rock holes, clay pans and creeks and creating new life and growth upon the land. Today the custodians of this important Water Dreaming site celebrate its stories in ceremonies.

The bush seeds are traditionally collected by the women from native grasses, shrubs, herbs and trees and ground down to flour using grinding stones for making damper. This was labour intensive but produced one of the most nourishing traditional foods made in the desert. Hilda depicts seeds of different sizes, shapes and colours as they would appear gathered by the women. Some of the seeds are pulled directly from branches and bushes but sometimes whole branches with seed pods are collected and beaten with sticks to separate the pods and the seeds more efficiently. Hilda has painted the seeds being scattered by the big rains visiting the desert.

In this painting Danielle is telling us about bush onion or Janmarda which is a traditional Aboriginal bush food. Bush onions may be eaten raw or cooked after removing the hard casing. They are a small onion with corns on shallow roots, the size of a small shallot.

They also decorate their bodies with feathers and dance with ceremonial objects such as nulla nullas (ceremonial dancing baton).

This painting tells a Kapi Tjukurrpa (water dreaming) story of Wantupunyu. Wantupunyu is Punni's grandfather's Country and the site is to the north of Papunya and west of the sacred mountain Karinyarra. Punni leant to paint this story from her Mother's paintings, Isobel Gorey Nambajimba, who is a prolific painter and a director at Papunya Tjupi. Water dreaming sites are important for the regeneration of nature. The water makes the country green and brings a lot of 'bush tucker' foods for the people and the animals. The heavy rain usually comes in the summer time. When the lightening can be seen at a distance, the elders will start singing to the lightening, encouraging it to bring more rain to replenish the land. In her paintings, Puuni depicts lightening, rainbows, puddles and bush flowers. In this painting the central shapes are important water or rock hole site. The lines represent the elements of a storm - wind, rain, thunderclouds and lightning. The patterns represent rain and water flowing from the waterholes and flooding the usually dry creek beds.
