Lawrence is senior Spinifex man who has painted the country where he was born and some of the significant sites in the surrounding country such as Pukara. Pukara is a major Spinifex site and has the story of Wati Kutjara or the "Two Men" running through it. These are Wanampi, mythical Serpent Men. Here he has depicted the father who awoke to find his son has gone. The father was concerned for the well being of his son who was known for being aggressive and unpredictable.
