Lawrence Pennington, a senior initiated man from Spinifex has painted sites associated with the Wati Kutjara Tjukurpa (Two Serpent Men from Pukara). These serpent men are a father and son pair who are travelling through the land. They stop at Ngakata, a rockhole with deep water.
As with many Spinifex Tjukurpa, places are linked through story and geography. In this case, Mituta is clearly linked to a well-known Western Desert area called Pukara. Pukara is a site in which two large snakes, a father and son are travelling on initiation business. The places Lawrence paints are often sacred or have sacred aspects to them and as such details are sketchy.
