Patju Presley paints with such spiritual confidence, as someone who knows their place in the Creation, often singing the associated songs of particular sites whilst rhythmically placing his myriad of dots to form his striking compositions.
Here he depicts the significant site of Mamu Piti that lies on the south-side of Irrunytju. "This is my mother’s country". This is a scary place, there are Mamu (evil spirits) there. These are creation beings who shaped the landscape as they moved through it leaving indelible monolithic reminders of their power and presence. Beings capable of metamorphic transformation that made the moral compass that still guides Anangu on a daily basis.
