Rosemary's style is characteristic of the Western Desert art movement; using the traditional dot and line work, Rosemary depicts the Tjilkamata Tjukurrpa (Echidna Dreaming) story that was taught to her by her grandmother, esteemed Ngaanyatjarra elder and senior artist Tjawina Porter Nampitjinpa. Horizontal and vertical stripes represent the women’s body paint designs that are applied for ceremonial purposes, and the roundels signify the burrow of the echidna. Rosemary's paintings are informed by her intimate knowledge of her country and the inextricable connection between the land and its Tjukurrpa (Dreaming), which inform all aspects of traditional life - deep and sacred knowledge, including the law and rules for social cohesion.
