The painting represents the Dreamtime story of the bush turkey ancestor. The bush turkey in search of food, roams the land leaving behind its tracks throughout Atnwengerrp - the artists homeland of Utopia in Central Australia.

The bush turkey is significant to Aboriginal people who share custodianship of this Dreaming and is re- enacted during their ceremonies.
