This artwork depicts Kampurarrpa, a significant site where a large group of women camped and performed ceremonies in the Dreaming. The concentric circles indicate the women's camps. The women are represented by the U shaped icons, which mimic their seated marks in the sand and are further defined here as their breasts. Kampurarrpa is also the name given to the edible bush tomato, a species of solanum that grows in the surrounding plains in Central Australia. This artwork was created in c.1982.
