Ngayuku Ngura means 'My Place'. Samuel uses an extensive palette of colours to paint the country surrounding Kalka and Pipalyatjara. His paintings feature the various land formations from that area - rockholes, creeks and hills. His land is a sacred men's rockhole, so sacred that the name is not allowed to be written down or spoken about.
