Katherine depicts her mother
Walangkura’s country in this painting, Tjintjintjin, a site north-west
of Walungurru (Kintore). Katherine uses motifs that are reminiscient of her
mother’s style, however she utilizes the Central and Western dot and linework
techniques in a way that is all her own. Concentric circles signify the
ceremonial sites, connected by lines that represent the ancient paths walked
between them by her ancestors countless times. Katherine’s artworks also capture
the features of her ancestral country, such as waterholes and rocky outcrops, which
are intertwined with deeply significant Dreaming stories.
